Heraclitus was one of many pre-Socratic philosophers‚ and he’s considered to be the most important and influential. I don’t know why‚ I find him a bit contradictory.

My Philosophy in Life People lived their lives with different mottos and rules to live by. Some live wild and dangerously while others are reserved and quiet. I live my life on a day-to-day basis.

This inspired me because I did not want to be like her

This is best done in a cooperative learning environment

Philosophy 101-04 Professor Valadez March 7‚ 2013 4.2 1. The problem of evil is a big problem for the Triple-O God. If he is all-good wouldn’t he hate the existence of evil and if he was all-powerful he would have the power to get rid of it.

Why not just eliminate it‚ if he really is all-powerful. 2. I think the designer is fully responsible. It’s
