Existence of God

We reach for the stars hoping to understand how the stars are positioned in space, what causes them to illuminate the night and the relation the stars have with the moon and yet we do not understand because we are too distracted with what remains visible. The things that remain visible distracts us from a clear understanding of life, our relation with objects, people, things and places. Distracted not because we want to, but we are distracted because we choose to. We wait in eager expectation…

Pastor Jim didn’t seem very enthusiastic about it. He told him, there is no mention in the Bible about orbs of light. The Pastor reminded him of what it says in, 2nd. Corinthians 11:14. “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” At home alone, he decided to get to the bottom of it. At his own request, his doctor arranged for him to see a psychiatrist. The doctor suggested to him. “Since you suffer from P.T.S.D., you could be reliving flares.” It was a reasonable…

whereas the second is a series of assertions and claims that happen to evaluate to true (Descriptions 175). Similarly, the sentence “The headmaster of Hogwarts is old” is easily resolvable – because the headmaster of Hogwarts does not exist, the existence claim is violated so the sentence evaluates to false instead of remaining in some indeterminate state (Descriptions 177). Strawson’s account of definite descriptions and critique of…

is only working with our current world in which we occupy. In Meinong’s theory, existence is merely a property that an object can have like colour or shape. So if one were to reference a unicorn, this can be a valid even though they do not exist in our spatiotemporal region as existence is merely another property that a unicorn can have like having a horn or having four legs. Whereas in Lewis’s theory existence is a prerequisite necessity of being an object and when specifically referencing…

Descartes argues that the existence of a reflective thought should be the first principle of philosophy since it is indubitable (Descartes 2). He also argues that a person's ordinary experience of the world cannot be used to provide a guaranteed foundation upon which other knowledge can be based upon. The mediator reasons that he needs to…

transnational migration has become more frequent from the 19th century up until now, as Hein de Haas points out. This has further resulted in the concept of diasporic existence which is a phenomenon that exists amongst migrants, dispersed from their original homelands (Butler). As to the reasons why transnational migration and diasporic existence become a choice and/or a necessary strategy for individuals, family and women in today’s neoliberal era, they vary from case to case, thus making them…

3.1.3. “Free Radicals” The next short story under analysis is entitled “Free Radicals.” The story is told by a omniscient third person narrator focalized in the protagonist of the story named Nita. The story is set in the past, with no time-shifts to the present or the future. The first pages of the story are devoted to narrate some details about Nitaʼs life. She is sixty-two years old and has unexpectedly lost her husband, Rich, not a long time ago. Nita has been diagnosed with cancer a year…

According to Euclid’s Elements, Book I, “Parallel straight lines are those straight lines which, being in the same plane and being produced indefinitely in both directions, do not meet one another in either direction.” Euclid defines about parallel lines at last of his definition of Book I which he uses to prove a lot of his proposition. He proves two lines are parallel lines in proposition 27 and uses parallel lines properties in every proposition after that. Therefore, this paper seeks to…

moving forward against the brutal difficulties in her fate and the society of colossal absurdity with the sexual double standard. Likewise, the existence of villain Alec also assists the existence of Tess. Even though Alec reaches to her as if the snake once did to Eve in the Bible, she only can exist as a pure being because of his existence as an evil character. As human body is destroyed without gravity, difficulties are ironically the essentials for human to grow up. Alec, in the case,…

true. However this means that Moore begs the question when he arrives at his conclusion. Moore explains he can rigorously prove the existence of two hands, by simply holding up his two hands. He mentions that as he makes a certain gesture saying "Here is one hand" (G.E Moore 197) and then by simply mentioning "here is another"(G.E Moore 197), he has proven the existence of such external things. Describing his proof as a perfectly rigorous one, he mentions that it is "perhaps impossible to give…
