in which it is a deductive ontological argument. Aselm attempts to prove the existence of God through one single argument which is that God does truly exist. However, there will always be dilemmas, conflicts or predicaments when it comes to such sensitive and personal topics such as the existence of God. Atheists are types of people who do not believe in the existence of God and have been continuously denying his existence. I personally am Christian and I therefore have a strong belief in God. That

evil in relation to God, examines Christian responses to the problem, and concludes the existence of God and the existence of evil are fully compatible. Body “The problem of evil is often divided between the logical and evidential problems.” At the heart of each problem is the belief that the existence of God and the existence evil are incompatible. They present an “either/or” dilemma: either God

Scientific reasoning has brought humanity to incredibly high levels of sophistication in all realms of knowledge. For Saint Thomas Aquinas, his passion involved the scientific reasoning of God. The existence, simplicity and will of God are simply a few topics which Aquinas explores in the Summa Theologica. Through arguments entailing these particular topics, Aquinas forms an argument that God has the ability of knowing and willing this particular world of contingent beings. The contrasting nature

arguments of Aquinas’s existence of God. Aquinas has five different arguments for why God exists, which leads one to believe just as much as he does in our Father. Argument from Possibility and Necessity leads anyone being to agree with every statement of the argument he presents. Aquinas’s third argument will allow one to question his own view on God’s existence. Due to Aquinas’s third argument for God’s existence, this argument gives one the best understanding of God’s existence. Aquinas States “We

It is natural for humans to question the meaning and nature of their existence in a world that is constantly evolving and asking more questions of its inhabitants. In his 467-page novel Kafka on the Shore, Haruki Murakami explores this complex and deeply confusing issue through the lens of two protagonists — Kafka, an outcast 15 year old boy with a grotesque Oedipus Complex; and Nakata, a pensioner who was subject to a disastrous trauma in the Second World War. Through their stories, Murakami guides

Throughout our lives we have instinctually feared what is considered the most horrible, yet inevitable fate of all mankind; death. We spend our entire lives fearing death as well as theorizing and developing ways to live longer and put off our own eventual demise. Death is universally feared, even from a young age we are aware of the fact that death is the ultimately the worst thing that could possibly happen to any mortal being. Death is defined as the “permanent ending of vital processes in a cell

Meditations on First Philosophy, attempts to discern where it is that human ‘error’ comes from, given the existence of a God and the relationship that exists between human beings and God through the act of ‘thinking’ properly. Descartes, in previous mediations, has established at the beginning of the fourth meditation that he himself is a thinking thing and that it is his ability to the think that provides him with proof of his own existence. The crux of what error is, according to Descartes (2009, 55),

Siena College Aquinas’ five point argument Gianluca Salvioli Professor Parrillo Philosophy in the human being 10/16/2017   In this paper, I plan to give an exposition of Saint Thomas Aquinas’ five point argument. Next, I plan to state one of the five arguments that I find the most compelling and then explain why it is so compelling. Finally, I plan to state one of the five arguments that I find the least compelling and give reasons as to why it is the least compelling. Aquinas’ first and

beginning of the novel, Antoine battles the governing forces of both the absolute and the relative for any aspect of individuality in an overwhelmingly meaningless world. He fights passionately and dizzily against the physical nausea that stirs in him, existence being both superfluous and erratic, and the unscrupulous monster (time) that conspires against freedom. Throughout the novel, Sartre never directly defines freedom because doing so would be contradictory to freedoms organic and unnamable nature,

metaphysics looks like, and, let me tell you, our conversations made my head spin. We talked about how there are three levels of reality, how natural law and original sin affect our human nature, and to me, the part that intrigued me the most, existence and true reality. Whenever our class conversations went on tangents about existence, my mind would struggle to keep up. The thoughts these conversations brought up were so abstract that by the time I had realized they were there, they were already starting
