Comparing Demea, Philo, And Cleanthes

Improved Essays
Adam Makarewicz
Philosophy take-home quiz The problem of evil is a very difficult topic to break down and take an absolute side on. Since a supposed deity is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent, then how can evil exist naturally in our world? My views of this question are fairly mixed. In comparison to Demea, Philo, and Cleanthes, I could more or less agree with Demea and Philo. The reason that I say this is because my views are more faith predominant, I see evil as a coexisting presence with good. Although, if I were to be a philosopher and dwell on the problem of evil, I would have to define evil first.
I believe that evil is either physical or moral (naturally harmful or sinful) because that is what I have been taught. An example

    In his article “Evil and Omnipotence,” J.L. Mackie explores the various adequate and fallacious solutions to the “problem of evil,” a problem in which “God is omnipotent; God is wholly good; and yet evil exists” (p. 119). While Mackie discusses, analyzes, and criticizes many solutions, including “good cannot exist without evil” (p. 120) and “evil is necessary as a means to good” (p. 122), my paper will solely focus on Mackie’s response to the fallacious solution that “evil is due to human free will” (p. 123), which begins “first I must query” on p. 124. This paper will formally extract, justify, critically evaluate, and engage with Mackie’s argument that existence of evil due to free will is erroneous. Mackie describes the free will…

    Philosophy Final Paper In this paper, I will argue that Philo offers better arguments for explanation of God’s existence than Demea and Cleanthes. During Hume’s days, the 1700s, science was not very advance and many philosophical arguments were based off of empirical observations. This paper contains information regarding how the argument between the three panned out and contains my thoughts on the conversation. While I do not have all the answers on these matters, I will provide my views and arguments in hopes of presenting a different perspective.…

    Evil is a complex issue within the Catholic faith. It is difficult to put a definition to what evilness is because it is not something that can physically be touched or seen. Philosophers such as, St. Augustine and Boethius, have proposed ideas that transform the way Catholics view evil, and help to give a better understanding of faith and God. These two philosophers have expressed their opinions on this very controversial topic in depth in Augustine’s Confessions and again in the Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius. The philosophers shared certain ideas, but have come to them each in different ways.…

    The first idea we face, is the logical problem of evil. What this questions is the possibility of there being an omnibenevolent, omnipotent, and omnipresent God and why evil still exists. One of the arguments made is, there is a God who is omnibenevolent and supposedly all good eliminates evil as far as it can, but we still have evil existing when there’s a God. By stating all of these, we have to give up one of the statements in order to make the argument true. The one fact that we can more than likely give up, is all good eliminates evil as far as it can.…

    Looking at many examples throughout modern and ancient history we have too many examples of evil committed by both humans and natural evils. Why would our benevolent God let these terrible acts occur to those both innocent and sinners alike? Why would there be so much disease, so much violence, so much corruption and sexual perversion. In one way or another God has either created these things or simply let them occur for one reason or another. Not only do we have many occurrences of evil in the Bible, we also see them through post biblical history, why hasn’t humanity been spared of this yet, hasn’t thousands of years of evil’s presence been enough?…

    “So times were pleasant for the people there until finally one, a fiend out of hell, began to work his evil in the world.” Since Eve took a bite out of that apple a long time ago, evil has dwelled and lodged in our home called Earth. Satan is the beginning and the end of evil. One day, evil will never exist anymore. God has promised all of us Heaven if you accept it.…

    One philosopher that freely gives off his opinion on god's existence would be St. Thomas Aquinas. St. Aquinas, in his Summa Theological, he explains five separate proofs for the existence of God. His proofs rely on the world, what we see or experience. St. Aquinas’ first proof explains how there was once an all powerful object that started all the motion. Anything that is currently in motion was first at rest and was moved by another motion which was moved by another motion.…

    Nash). This is essential to note, because the early development of Christian world views dating back in ancient civilization was a critical development in Christianity. The consequences of Evil It is written in the Holy Bible, that evil came into existence, because God gave Adam and Eve free will, with instructions not to take from the tree of life. According to Nash, he asserts “God has good reasons for creating a world containing creatures that are significantly free, that is, free with regard to actions that have moral significance.”…

    The unfortunate reality of evil being an element of humanity is a hard pill for some to swallow, and can be an even more difficult concept to comprehend and breakdown philosophically. In a pluralistic world with many competing religions and worldviews, the concept of what is morally wrong can definitely be distorted to fit one’s lifestyle, or the norms of a particular culture. The presence of wickedness introduces the proverbial monkey wrench scenario for atheists, pantheists, agnostics, and to some extent Christians. A current example of evil that abounds in our world is the abuse of people by the hand and will of another, whether it be physical or emotional, which can precipitate the death of one’s body and/or spirit. Each belief system…

    Evil, the absence of God, can be found anywhere in the world in which pain, suffering, and in all that is bad in the world and in people. Such evil could be summed up in three categories, poverty, war, and sickness and pollution. The reason it can be summed up so simply into these categories is because for the most part the different aspects of evil can be found linked to one of these categories such as greed. As my mother would say about watching scary movies when I was a kid, “Fear is not a good emotion therefore it is not of God. If it is not of God, it is of the enemy and thus evil.”…

    One of the most persistence questions we as thinking having often tends to challenge the existence of God. That question is, ‘if God is good and made us in His likeness, then why is there evil in the world?’ This question has plagued both theist and philosophers alike. I personally have encountered this very question in both Religious Quest, as well as Philosophy. While the latter concentrates on the logical problem of evil in order to argue that there can not be a perfect God who could then allow evil, the theist believes in an omniscient, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent God.…
