ST. ANSELM OF CANTERBURY (1033-1109) “If you can find a place where God is not‚ Go there and sin with impunity.” Meaning: God‚ the Creator of Heaven and Earth‚ is everywhere.

So‚ one cannot sin - even in the depths of his heart - without God knowing. He was an Italian theologian and philosopher. He was also a priest who became the Archbishop

The existence of god has been a question that has plagued mankind since people began to think logically. Many philosophers argue that there may or may not be a god‚ or that there may even be different types of gods. It is difficult to say whether or not god can exist because there is a lack of knowledge or limited knowledge regarding the issue. Mankind has only been around for so long and can only know so much. Who knows what we could be possibly be missing in this quest to find the ultimate answer

I would like to start by saying that‚ I really enjoyed watching the movie CRASH‚ some of the things shown in the movie are very realistic and much of it can’t even be put into words. Two of the behaviors that I noticed most‚ are prejudice and stereotyping. It was the cause of where all the events eradicated from. These behaviors are viewed as thoughts and feelings that almost everyone has felt more than once. This movie shows us the different point of view

Descartes Chapter Questions According to Descartes‚ Rationalism is an epistemological position in which reason is said to be the primary source of all knowledge‚ superior to sense evidence. In other words‚ rationalism is the idea that people need to have some sort of reasoning to back up their ideas. Nobody is going to believe you just because you said it‚ you have to provide evidence. Rationalists believe that abstract reasoning can produce absolute truths about nature and existence in general

Re: Case 2 Three Little Pigs‚ Inc. I’m writing this in response to your question on how should the Company determine whether an impairment exists and how should management evaluate impairment. The Company should record inventory impairment when according to ASC 330-10-35-1‚ “the utility of the goods is no longer as great as their cost”. The rule also states “where there is evidence that the utility of goods‚ in their disposal in the ordinary course of business‚ will be less than cost‚ whether

Berkeley demonstrated a form of Subjective Idealism‚ making the claim that there is no mind-independent reality; all that exists are ideas and the minds that perceive them.

Outline and discuss the causal argument. Descartes casts everything into doubt in the first meditation‚ including God Himself. He then comes to this disproval of this theory therefore concluding that God exists. This is brought about through the causal argument. Desartes begins this argument with the causal principle. This principle states that there must be at least as much reality in the effcient and total cause as in the effect of the cause. Therefore a cause is essential for an effect

Jerry Brow Grindeland 7/16/2012 Rethinking the Cartesian Circle in Meditation 5 Now that I have had a chance to review my original essay‚ I’ve determined that my arguments for Descartes’ logic being circular were unclear because I believed something different from what I believe now. Though this revision will still address the same concepts from the Meditations as my previous essay‚ I will argue instead that Descartes’ argument for the existence of God is not guilty of circular logic but merely

Plato (429–347 B.C.E.) is‚ by any reckoning‚ one of the most dazzling writers in the Western literary tradition and one of the most penetrating‚ wide-ranging‚ and influential authors in the history of philosophy. An Athenian citizen of high status‚ he displays in his works his absorption in the political events and intellectual movements of his time‚ but the questions he raises are so profound and the strategies he uses for tackling them so richly suggestive and provocative that educated readers
