Existence

Argument for Existence of God The real is the rational, and the rational is the real. In philosophical discussion, no statement is, perhaps, more important or more controversial. Yet, this is the very position that I advocate within this paper. The equation of the rational with the real is at the heart of the argument I here consider, that being the ontological argument for the existence of God. There are several versions of the ontological argument for the existence of God, which is to say that

The question about the existence of God has both peaked curiosity and puzzled the human race for as long as we have been asking the question of where we came from and how we got here. What is the purpose of humankind? Are we inherently special or important? Many believe that the answers to these questions lies in the existence of an all-powerful, all knowing God, creator of the Heavens and Earth, who watches over and observes all. In his Meditations on First Philosophy, 17th Century philosopher René

rational to wage for the maximum expected benefit. Therefore, it is only logical and rational to wage that God does exist. And, if one cannot believe in God’s existence, they should find out why they have the inability to believe and try to convince themselves otherwise.

Existence of God as a perfect being who has created the world has always been the subject of continuous debate for the scholar people and philosophers. During the history many different arguments have been proposed for the existence of God. Some of these arguments are based on science, some based on history and some based on philosophy. Two of the most important philosophical arguments in this matter are the ontological argument and cosmological argument. Each of these arguments tried to proof existence

want, do we feel the absence and thus wish for their existence. This is so because we have a humane nature of taking everything for granted. In his play Endgame, Beckett uses many absurd elements to make a connection between existence and absence. Throughout his characters Clov and Hamm, Beckett uses each of them to demonstrate their incompleteness and thus the need to seek the help of one other in order to survive and achieve their complete existence. Being a caregiver or a nurse requires a lot of

Descartes’ Proof for the Existence of God: A Cartesian Circle or Just Unsoundness? The Cartesian Circle raises a worry about the potential circularity of Descartes’ proof of the existence of God in Meditation III. The crux of the objection lies in the problem that while Descartes wants to demonstrate the undeniable existence of God and his benevolence in order to establish his rule of clear and distinct perception, he seems to be using clear and distinct perception to lay out the causal principle

“ontos” meaning “being” or “what there is”. Ontology credits the existence of God to overall essence of God. The ontology argument questions the nature of being which includes questioning the existence of God. As made apparent in “Introduction to Philosophy: Classical and Contemporary Readings” many philosophers have different views and theories on the existence of God. Anslem and Aquinas provide arguments that support the existence of God but still offer some differences. Anslem, a Catholic saint

objective to do this; he leaves to show that he has the unmistakable and a particular thought that God is incredible and can't along these lines mislead him. This is done by recommending the considerations can have more prominent reality. For Descartes Existence is conventional and those things that exist are more flawless or all the more awesome then those things that don't. Descartes suggests that there are three sorts of thoughts: Innate, Invented, and Adventitious. Innate thoughts are and have reliably

Two weeks ago we discussed about “Existence of God” in our class. We had an argument about God and religion. Six arguments for the “Existence of God”, one argument for “The rationality of belief in God”, and one argument “Against the reality of religion”. I didn’t like this topic and the concept of this topic at all. Because God and religion stuffs are entirely personal issue. It depends on the person either he/she will belief God, follow the religion or not. Even though both believers and nonbelievers

During the medieval period in philosophy, the existence of God was a philosophical topic that was shared by most of the well-known philosophers and theologians of the time. The very name "medieval" (meaning, "the in-between time") philosophy suggests the tendency of modern thinkers to go directly from Aristotle to the Renaissance era. What seems to justify this attitude is the tendency of philosophers during this period to seek truth along with orthodoxy. Most of the medieval
