Existence Of God Unmoved Mover
2,503 words... oma's Aquinas' First Two Ways in Proving the Existence of God It is my view that God exists, and I think that Aquinas' first two ways presents a successful argument for the existence of God. No doubt, the arguments have weak points which are subjected to criticism but nonetheless, in my opinion, these propositions by Aquinas do indeed accomplish their purpose in establishing the existence of a Greatest Conceivable Being that is the unmoved mover and uncaused cause. I believe that this ultima...

Kind Of Thing Idea Of A Perfect
2,488 wordsSpinoza at first worked in the framework of the Cartesian philosophy, publishing in 1663 a book entitled Principles of the Philosophy of Ren Descartes. Another early work, the posthumously published Treatise on the Emendation of the Intellect, contains themes that were central to Descartes investigation of knowledge.

It is impossible to tell, other than by being judged against common-sense, since Man by his reasoning power can only compare & judge of what he has already perched. But it is this type of perception that Blake challenges. So, it can be seen that this is a very difficult idea to reconcile with modern thought, one that requires we give...

In fact, this essay (more of an extension to a theory) is only in the Physics category because I did not see any other category it could fit in. So here it is. I am assuming that Albert Einstein is a somewhat familiar name for you. You may even know of some or all of his theories. Such as those on relativity and the possibility that the universe is infinite. The latter is the theory I am extending. What I have ...

Contingent Beings Infinite Series
1,038 words... needed to ascertain the first causes qualities. The causal argument is only meant to be an important step in proving Gods existence. The main disagreement about the causal argument centers on the infinite series paradox. Aquinas states that to imply an infinite series is not only illogical, it also implies that nothing exists. Yet we know that things do exist, hence the infinite series is wrong. Let me explain a little better, Aquinas reasoned that whenever we take away the cause the effect ...

It can also be thought of as digging a whole in hell for eternity, negative infinity.

If they do then it would prove, if not give strong evidence, that they are one in the same. First I will restate Descartes? proof of an infinite and truthful being. P 1...

In short, the materialist feel...
