Mind And Body Existence Of God
1,140 wordsIn the Sixth Meditation, Descartes makes a point that there is a distinction between mind and body. It is in Meditation Two when Descartes believes he has shown the mind to be better known than the body. In Meditation Six, however, he goes on to claim that, as he knows his mind and knows clearly and distinctly that its essence consists purely of thought.

Although Kant disagreed with many aspects of Humes account, by writing a whole discourse devoted to it, it is obvious that it influenced him greatly. The main disagreement was, for Hume causality was analytic and for Kant it was synthetic. In the Prolegomena, Kant tries to solve some of Humes errors, and at the same time remove his skepticism. In Book I, Part III, 1 of the Treatise, Hume distinguishes two gro...

In Part II, Spinoza maintains that there is nothing more to will than individual acts of volition. Thus will is not a "faculty" of God (and this holds for "intellect" as well). It might be objected that without choice, God is not free. Because they follow necessarily from God's essence, things cannot be otherwise than what they are, and this is a limitation of God's power.

The latter bestow upon the organism with the feature to be explained a better chance of reproducing (than the one possessed by the featureless specimen).

Morally Responsible Moral Responsibility
1,934 wordsIn his essay, Freedom and Necessity, A. J. Ayer maps out his argument for Determinism, the idea that humans act the way they do because of the way already existing factors in their lives incline them to, and not of their own freewill. These already existing factors are known as casual laws. These casual laws are past experiences, feelings, and other factors that make people be who they are. He believes that this theory of Determinism and the idea of freewill can coexist in relation to human beha...

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 ...

Mind And Body Clear And Distinct
2,264 wordsDescartes Descartes relation of the mind and the body is circles around three topics: mind body dualism, proofs for the real distinction between mind and body, and two way causal interaction. Descartes in Meditation II concludes that he is in essence a thinking thing (res cogitates), and that it is possible that he exists without a body. He recognizes, however, that to conclude from this that his mind is really distinct from his body would be fallacious. The Stoic paradox of the masked man illus...

For countless centuries mankind has speculated as to how and why the universe as we know it came into existence.
