Not as a TA but just an assignment we were all given in an undergraduate class, Theories of Reality.  It's one of two philosophy essays that I have to complete over the next couple of weeks, and well, when I put so much energy into something (I like writing these sorts of papers) I cannot help but want to share it with my philosophically-inclined peers!  Thank you for the very generous compliment!

Ah! Don't tell me that you think my essay partakes of the 'Form' of 'Large-ness!'  Razz

No, I wouldn't say 'Large-ness', exactly. More a sort of textual diarrhea. The philosophical 'table-ness' of a particular object is a subject of nil interest to any sensible person. Everyone knows what a table is, what is meant by the concept. Your long-winded exercise in pointlessness doesn't achieve anything, just a sort of mental masturbation on a subject with no content.
