In Politics‚ Aristotle sets out an argument to suggest that in order for humans to flourish and achieve Eudaimonia we must actualise our unique and distinctively human faculties‚ particularly our intellectual and moral faculties.

Miracles‚ Hume joins an argument that was occurring at the time on miracles and their place in the foundations of the Christian Faith. Hume‚ however‚ comes to the conclusion that we cannot be justified in our belief in any miracles. I believe that Hume does provide a valid‚ defensible argument in the claim that we are not justified in our belief of miracles and we can provide answers to problems that may arise from statements in his argument. Although Hume’s original argument is in my opinion strong

can justice ever really be carried out for murderers? In this essay I will argue in favor of the death penalty.
