alluded to in the opening scenes. Like Shelley‚ Scott uses biblical allusions highlighting the disruption resulting from the egotistical hubris of Tyrell. Scott’s use of long shots on Tyrell’s towering temple like ziggurat and chessboard‚ suggest his omnipotence. His white clothing is juxtaposed against the dull noir society. In a similar way the final scene with Roy Batty silhouetted in lights‚ emphaisises his power. Both God like depictions are underpinned by irony as the bright DK logo shows the all

In book III of The Consolation of Philosophy‚ Boethius establishes the fact that God is the world’s helmsman‚ the divine reason‚ the supreme good‚ the origin of all things.

Through the concept of unity‚ through which things basically become good‚ Boethius shows that God and happiness are one‚ the divine goodness. He concludes‚ "God is the essence of happiness."

experimenting for the sensation of success‚ Shelley condemns him through his lack of civility “I true murderer‚ I felt the never dying worm alive in my bosom”‚ use of ‘worm’ exemplifies his deterioration in humanity‚ initiated by his ambition for omnipotence.

Sullivan Ballou Letter July the 14th‚ 1861 Washington DC My very dear Sarah: The indications are very strong that we shall move in a few days - perhaps tomorrow. Lest I should not be able to write you again‚ I feel impelled to write lines that may fall under your eye when I shall be no more. Our movement may be one of a few days duration and full of pleasure - and it may be one of severe conflict and death to me. Not my will‚ but thine 0 God‚ be done. If it is necessary that I should fall

The Euthyphro Problem Many controversial problems in society still remain unanswered today. One such problem in philosophy is where goodness originates from. In Plato’s dialogue‚ Euthyphro‚ the question is asked as to whether “Piety is good because the gods love it‚ or do the gods love piety because it is good?” Changing the question around a little yields the question as to whether something is good because God wills it to be good or if God calls it good because it is already good. For most religious

Evil is here amongst us on earth. Why is it here? Who put evil here and what was it’s purpose here on earth? If God is omnipotent‚ omniscient‚ and a wholly good being then is he really the master architect behind the creation of this world? But honestly lets touch some fundamentals first. What is evil?

The Conflict Between Medieval and Renaissance Values Scholar R.M. Dawkins famously remarked that Doctor Faustus tells “the story of a Renaissance man who had to pay the medieval price for being one.” While slightly simplistic‚ this quotation does get at the heart of one of the play’s central themes: the clash between the medieval world and the world of the emerging Renaissance. The medieval world placed God at the center of existence and shunted aside man and the natural world. The Renaissance

offense must constitute a “transgression of the law.” This short‚ seemingly banal‚ provision forms the central tenet of Hobbes’s punishment theory—a tenet from which various subsidiary conclusions can be drawn. Contrary to notions of sovereign omnipotence‚ a careful analysis of Hobbes’s conception of law as it pertains to punishment reveals limitations to sovereign authority in the form of a ‘positive legal order’ (Cattaneo 1965; Hüning 2007). Hobbes’s characterization of civil law‚ offered in

categorizing God‚ this means that there is divine absoluteness. Process theory differs not by refuting his absolutism‚ but by proposing there is also a type of dependence that is admirable. This dependence hinges upon God’s creation of free will. God’s omnipotence depends upon knowing everything which is knowable‚ but the concrete actuality’ is that God is dependant upon His creations to make the decisions‚ that create the events which were before unknowable. Boethius agrees to this statement with a small
