Kimberly Avilez Phil 1301 Genius Aristotle provided the best foundation for the Theory of Forms. Being a pupil of such a great philosopher like Plato and considering the respect and admiration that Aristotle professed to his mentor‚ it had to be a challenge to respectfully provide strongest foundations. Regarding the Theory of Forms‚ Plato and Aristotle both use their definitions of ‘form’ to defeat their relative problems with knowledge. For both philosophers form is able to categorize all

When considering God as "a substance is infinite‚ eternal‚ immutable‚ independent‚ extremely intelligent‚ extremely powerful‚ and has created both myself and everything else‚" yogi realize that the idea of God must have reality far more objective reality he had official: God is an infinite while he is only a finite substance. Since the idea of God cannot be sourced from within himself‚ he concludes that God is the cause of this idea and therefore necessarily exists. The meditation counter argument

In this course‚ we have gone over a lot of topics‚ that have been interesting and some have been very confusing. One of our topics that I’ve found interesting and I enjoyed was when talked about the weaknesses and strengths of Gaunilo’s and Kant’s and their ontological arguments. Anselm’s ontological argument defined God as being “as which no other greater can conceive.” Ontological arguments tend to start with a priori theory about the organization of the universe.

In this passage‚ Anselm

My visual project of transcendentalism is a wreath with pictures and symbols of each principal from the chart. The first principle used is nature. Transcendentalists believed “We should live close to nature‚ for it is our greatest teacher. Nature is emblematic‚ and understanding its language and lessons can bring us closer to god. In fact‚ Nature = God. The words Nature‚ God Universe‚ Over-Soul‚ etc. all mean the same thing. They call it Brahma. Brahma‚ or God‚ is everything‚ but nothing in particular”

My initial answer to the the definition of So Mote it be was said at the end of a spell/ritual to release energy. I suppose I have not actually tried to find out what the phrase actually means and went strictly on how we always say So Mote it Be at the Prayer and Energy Requests in our school rituals. Now that we have that out of the way‚ why don’t I actually go find out what it means without an assumption! The basic definition of So Mote It Be is‚ So Must It Be‚ And So It Shall Be‚ Amen‚ to be

Kevin Fisher Uhler – Period 5 Existentialism Existentialism focuses on the idea that life has no meaning and is considered absurd. Existential philosophers believe that humans create their own values and determine a meaning for their lives because‚ from the start‚ the human being does not possess any inherent value or identity. “Existence precedes essence” is one of the most well-known existential statements and describes how our concrete being is more important than its purpose. The existentialism
