wisdom and, as a result, know what is truly good
will tend to do what is right. These people will

Eternal Truth Fully Understand

Soren Kierkegaard is said to be one of the
founding fathers of existentialism. His style of
writing, his tone and vocabulary tie him closely
to another forerunner of existentialist thought:
Fyodor Dostoevsky (although either of them would
probably deny this vehemently). However, in the
course of his writings, Kierkegaard takes quite a
liberal and (dare I say it? ) individualistic
stand on the side of Christianity. In the passages
I have read of Kierkegaard (That Individual and
Truth is Subjectiv...

Pride, arrogance and the refusal to accept reality
is a failing in humans. It causes them to overlook
the obvious and leads to errors in judgement. In
tragedies, this is a leading cause in why the most
apparent flaws in judgement are often overlooked
by characters. In the play King Lear, by William
Shakespeare, King Lear refuses to accept the
reasoning that his Fool puts forth regarding Lear
and his kingdoms well being. To some, it is
natural to ignore advice from people of a lower

sexuality and worked to rationalize them through
his own theory of natural law. Aquinas argues
against any form of sex where the intention to
produce children is not involved. He explains this
through his theory of natural law, where sex is
purely for the purp...
