Philosophy of Everything, eh? If it were me, I'd stick to ethics because ethics is t3h b3st. You can get pretty far with the papers on Moral Luck and a discussion of free will vs. determinism as a "Philosophy of Everything". It's one of the most all-encompassing problems in philosophy, so it probably works well. Skewer your paper with Hume's Fork.

Word! I think then I'll talk about the ethical implications of existential responsibility, and discuss how one can use a pragmatic method to apply it to one's life. I haven't studied free will or determinism enough to make coherent argument for one or the other. Right now, I'd have to rely on metaphysics, and I don't have my own, nor do I entirely buy the validity of the concept.

Based on the strangeness of the assignments, I'm guessing if you include enough buzzwords your professor will be quite happy with whatever you write.

I'm guessing that, based on ability to spell "Existentialism," my professor will be happy with the assignment.
