Philosophy essays at universities are short by the standards of other humanities subjects, 1,500 to 2,500 words is typical, which means every sentence must carry argumentative weight. There is no room for extensive background or biographical material. Your essay should begin engaging with the philosophical problem within the first paragraph.
