There should be a literature of philosophy course in general. My own style right now is to have a conversation with whatever topic but with 5 very distinct views from differently defining Greek gods so the reader can take whichever position they want.

I like dialogues as well. I included a short dialogue as part of a paper during my first semester, but it was not well received- I was told never to do it again, lol. But, there is nothing to prevent me from using dialogues when I write the papers I really want to write- the ones I write because I want to- not for a grade.
