Comparison of Principles of Sufficient Reasoning Every philosopher in the ancient times was concerned with the study of human nature in relation to the environment. Three thinkers used different perspectives of argument in relating the work of God and sufficient reasoning why, how people came into existence and the varying actions they had towards objects. They are discussed as follows; Leibniz was the first German philosopher who existed early 17th -18th century, in his principle of sufficient reasoning he stated that, every action that was done by human had a purpose and a cause and that the existence depends on God’s free choice. He argued that anything on earth had an explanation of life either in an external cause or necessity of its nature. Further, he used this principle to state several claims such as rationalism concerning space and time, God’s existence and the identity of indiscernible. At first, the major idea that he pointed out was the ultimate origin of things, in which he related to series of unexpected things that was a necessary explanation why something existed for example the existence of the universe. The other truth was necessity and he mentioned that …show more content…
Descartes claims that all ideas have a cause and that they are of three different types namely, fictitious, innate and adventitious and that all the reasons at least must have factual evidence in them as their outcome effects. He claims that God’s idea was natural. Descartes gives two major arguments to support his point of God’s existence. One is the trademark argument that says something came into existence because there was an idea to do so and that its reality is directly related to the formal idea of making
