Jonathan Spina Debate Essay The statement for the debate was Galileo was the most important person in the scientific revolution. I do not agree with this statement. I feel that the scientific revolution was a team effort. There were plenty of people that had a hand in the scientific revolution. In this essay I will tell you about a lot of them. Some of the most important people that had a hand in the scientific revolution were people like Francis Bacon. His thoughts on logic and ethics

Descartes believes that all knowledge must rest on a priori foundations. This claim is proven through his acceptance in the idea of God as most true and that innate ideas are relearned. Descartes states that his understanding of “God a certain substance that is infinite‚independent and supremely powerful...the more carefully I focus my attention on them‚ the less possible it seems they could have arisen out of myself alone”(Meditations And Discourse on Methods 45-46).

The popularity of foundationalism starts with Descartes. He challenged the previously popular skepticism. In Descartes Meditations he discusses many issues relating to the question of "where does knowledge come from?" His main arguments appear in his dreaming argument. He first begins by stating 1.

Descartes has two arguments for skepticism‚ the first the dream argument and then second the evil demon argument. Both examples are used to raise doubts in things that we may commonly believe to be true. It seems right to believe that if you know something then you cannot doubt that thing‚ but Descartes wants to be certain in every way that he does in fact know that thing. These two examples are used to bring skepticism into your knowledge of things. For example‚ I know that I am taking a test‚ but

I will first explain what Descartes’s argument for God’s existence is‚ and then I will attempt to support the argument that God does not need to necessarily exist through objections and replies. Premise 1: “We have an idea of God as an infinite and perfect being.” First‚ Descartes believes that there are properties that are inherently perfect. For example‚ being good is a perfection

Religion Religion. “the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power‚ esp. a personal God or gods”. Religion is looked at differently by every single individual. There is no proof‚ no evidence‚ just faith. Religion is based strictly off of one’s faith. Without faith there would be no religion because there would be nothing to believe in. Every single individual has or has had faith in something. People practice faith every day without even knowing it. Every
