Dualism

Christian Apocalypticism has developed in various of ways. The first millennial mentioned is Puritans. The Puritans is a group established for the purpose of Christ’s Second Coming. Many Puritans had similar beliefs as Calvinists. Their idea was God predetermined everything. There was nothing anyone can do to change anything because God already put it in stone. The Puritans preached an apocalyptic message stating the end will occur after the abomination, which is the Catholic Church, is…

scientists, mathematicians, Rene Descartes was born on March 31, 1596. He was named the "Father of Philosophy" for many reasons: the first to disregard Aristotelianism, Aristotle's philosophy based on his thought, formulated a new version of mind-body dualism, and promoted the development of new science based on experiment and observation. Implementing an original system of methodical doubt called Cartesian, Descartes also discarded apparent…

Personal Worldview Inventory Spirituality has different definitions as it relates to individual worldviews. In this paper, I will discuss worldview as it relates to pluralism, scientism, and postmodernism. Merriam Webster Dictionary defines Spirituality as the quality or state of being concerned with religious matters. Everyone has a worldview which emerges from our environment and the people around us. God and ethics are the two determinants of my worldview, and they have shaped me to be what…

American children are innately inferior, dangerous and indistinguishable from black adulthood, whereas not innocence as their opposite race, whites are. The lives of the black youth have trickled to a devastating issue in America. As life is full of dualism, male-female, binary system black-white, superiority- inferiority, right-wrong and up-down. It makes one wonder, why are black youth lives not concerned innocent or worthy. My reaction to this article comes also from a dualistic approach.…

believe exist. This division between denominations produced two different ideas. The first idea was God is way beyond good or beyond evil, and the second is God is righteous and wants us to behave in ways he dictates. Lewis shared his views on Dualism explaining that there are two powers: equal and independent. These powers are also referred to as powers, spirits, or Gods and have been around for eternity and each believes one is good and the other is bad. Lewis explained in the practical…

Constitution declared that “We the People of the United States,” while the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen declares “the source of all sovereignty lies essentially in the Nation” (Gulalp, 2013). Both revolutions preserved a dualism between the “public” citizen, (the peoples voice) the “people” or the “nation” and the “legal” citizen, who is subject to the law and the possessor of natural rights to liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness (Gulalp, 2013). Meanwhile,…

The lecture this week discussed evolution and development. While Darwin believed that natural selection worked with individuals, the synthetic theory states that genes determine all traits that heritable. While the synthetic theory of evolution combined Darwinian evolution and genetics, it chose genes as the only focus of natural selection, hence an organism can be seen as the “vehicle” for genes because they are what create these individuals to deal with the environment to make more genes. So,…

is ineffective. He views that philosophers have wasted their lives doubting what others already know exists. Hence, he believes that knowledge is attained through the senses and not by doubting. Therefore, Berkeley refutes Descartes’ and Locke’s dualism. Berkeley aims to defeat the issues of skepticism and Atheism, for he believes that neither Locke nor Descartes properly captured the essence of God. Consequently,…

The word “atonement” simply means to receive reparation for something you did wrong. In the way of the Christian doctrine of atonement, the very same definition can be applied. It would mean to receive reparation for your sins. The general understanding of the doctrine of atonement is that “humans sin, [which] causes debt we are unable to pay, [therefore] we deserve punishment. Instead of our being punished, God sends his Son to be punished in our place. We are forgiven” (Senor 4). This…

learned from experience. The mind is also needed to join associated qualia into the objects we recognize. In order to do this, Kant agreed with Descartes when he stated that the mind must necessarily be a unified whole. Kant did not accept mind-body dualism however, because the idea of the soul is also formed by custom, instinct, and…
