PhiloWrite analyzes the structure of your arguments, identifies philosophical weaknesses, and flags underdeveloped counterarguments — in the precise language your department expects.
How it works
Paste your essay, choose a mode, and receive structured feedback you can actually use — not vague encouragements to "develop your argument further."
Drop in 100–5,000 words of philosophical writing. Works with argument-driven essays, response papers, dissertation chapters, and qualifying exam answers.
Quick scan gives you a readable overview in under 30 seconds. Deep analysis traces the full dialectical structure, uncovers unstated assumptions, and maps where your argument is most vulnerable.
Comments are organized by type — argument structure, philosophical weaknesses, fallacies, charitability of opposing views, and constructive suggestions. Each point is specific, with references to the text.
What it checks
PhiloWrite is trained on the conventions of analytic philosophy. It knows the difference between a badly stated premise and a genuine dialectical gap.
Does your thesis actually do the work you claim? Are your inferences valid given the premises you've stated? The tool maps the architecture of your argument and flags where it depends on unstated commitments.
Underdeveloped counterarguments, unclear scope conditions, equivocal terms, and dialectical gaps. The tool does not tell you to "add more evidence" — it tells you which objections are missing and where your position is most exposed.
Detects straw man constructions, begging the question, equivocation, and false dichotomies. Also flags places where your reading of opposing positions may not be charitable enough to satisfy a sympathetic reader.
Points toward relevant literature, sharper framings, and directions that would substantially strengthen the argument. Suggestions are calibrated to your field — not generic "add examples" advice.
