professor. He was born in Ulm, Germany, on March

studied nature. At school and home he would ask

ter>Sam Vaknin's Psychology,

Sites The word "telos" in ancient
Greek meant: "goal, target, mission, completion,
perfection." The Greeks seem to have associated
the attaining of a goal with perfection. Modern
scientific thought is much less sanguine about
teleology, the belief that causes are preceded by
their effects. The idea is less zany than it
sounds. It was Aristotle who postulated the
existence of four types of ca...

Oral Tradition Late Antiquity
2,076 words
Erroneous beliefs and preconceived ideas are a
lock on the door of the human mind; they have
proven to be very effective in keeping the truth
at bay. In the past, the belief systems of most
people were acquired directly from their parents
as they grew up. Countless generations clung to
their inherited beliefs with great tenacity,
vigorously promoting them as bequeathed truth. Yet
in the vast majority of cases, the origin of these
beliefs was not based on fact, but rather on
supposition or hearsa...

The great confession of Peter, as the

of the Church as such. In contradistinction to the

Testament prophecy, the heir of Old Testament
promise, the realization of the Old Testament hope
for Israel, and, in Israel, for all mankind.

Nation Of Israel Jesus Christ

Philosophy of Religion There are two very simple
and easy facts. One of them is felt by reverence
and the other by experience. The fact which is
felt by reverence is that god always pervades
everywhere without any change. Several ages pass
away, several Brahmas (creators of god) change,
but the supreme essence remains the same. The fact
which is felt by experience is that the whole
world is kaleidoscopic; it is changing every
moment and is turning to naught. Thus there are
two facts: 1) God who ...

Presence Of God Testament Shows Moses

Mysterium Tremendous If one thinks about what holy
means, he will most likely answer in terms of
exemplary ethical behavior, but that is not the
true meaning of the word. In his attempt to define
holy, Rudolph Otto, in his classic book The Idea
of the Holy (1923), adopted the term numinous,
from the Latin word numen, meaning a deity. Rarely
used before, this term became immediately popular
as a description of the supernatural. Otto was
careful to define what he meant by the numinous.
