example‚ the viewpoint of Thomas F. Torrance who was a Scottish Protestant theologian. "Thomas F. Torrance both believed in the possibility of universal salvation‚ they also rejected the idea that we could make a final determination about this possibility prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ. Torrance expressly believed in the ’universality of Christ’s saving work’ but rejected ’universalism’ and any idea of ’limited atonement’. He considered both of these views to be rationalistic approaches

Thomas and Frost both write about the experience of unexpected joy. In Edward Thomas’ “Adlestrop” and Robert Frosts’ “The Tuft of Flowers” we read about the speakers experiences of unexpected joy through the poet’s aspects of imagery‚ form‚ language and tone of each of their poems. In Frosts’ poem “The Tuft of Flowers” the speaker‚ at first‚ is musing on the separateness of mankind and the workers. Whilst he muses this he is led by a butterfly to gaze upon a tuft of flowers that has been left by

Hobbs and Roseau‚ if having the chance to study The Ideal City‚ would have two conflicting viewpoints. Overall‚ Hobbs had a more pessimistic view of society. He believed that mankind is inherently evil; each man will see to it that he outdoes the next man. Since the best chance of survival to win dominance over one another‚ every neighbor‚ friend‚ and relative is a rival. Thus‚ everyone is trying to claim each other’s “treasurers” as their own to be the best. This describes a never-ending battle

Philosophy 101 Bill Haley 28 March 2014 Socrates Socrates believed that philosophy prepares the soul for the separation of the body when it is time for us to die. Also‚ he insisted that death is not necessarily a bad thing.

Thomas Robert Malthus’ perspective on population growth is peculiar today because it is different‚ bold‚ and not widely accepted. While I do not agree with all of Malthus’ opinions and conclusion on reproductive health I think he had some valuable points. Firstly‚ it is unfair for Malthus to assert that "human beings‚ like plants and subhuman animals‚ are ’impelled’ to increase the population of the species by what he called a powerful ’instinct‚’ in the urge to reproduce."
