Existence of God

Body image is non-existent. It is just a figment of our imaginations, created by the insecurities inspired by society’s generalized idea of “perfect”. Don’t believe me? Let me prove it through this essay. Body image is defined in Merriam Webster’s Medical Dictionary as “a subjective picture of one’s own physical appearance established both by self-observation and by noting the reactions of others.” Going by this definition it would appear to me that its all in ones head, influenced by the idea…

Locke offers many other objections to the specific kinds of innate ideas such as identity, God and infinity. First concerning the idea of identity, Locke claims that this idea is not universally held distinctly enough to be considered innate. Secondly, he considers the idea of God but says that because different cultures and societies differ in their conceptions of God it must be a social construct implemented by society rather than an innate idea granted at birth. Lastly, Locke considers the…

The Ontological contention likewise faces numerous reactions by various logicians for not demonstrating the presence of God. Gaunilo was one of the main thinkers to condemn Anselm's hypothesis utilizing his 'island' hypothesis. Gaunilo requested that individuals imagine an island ''more astounding than some other island'' and he recommend that this island as indicated by Anselm's confirmation should essentially exist in light of the fact that an island which exists in all actuality would be…

One Man’s Truth For the past twenty years, literary theorists have challenged the notion of truth in autobiographical texts. Indeed, they have even asserted that memoirs are merely representations of events, perspectives and experiences. Yet, such statements fail to recognise the very purpose of autobiographical texts- to provide cathartic release and to send a message about how the world is, was and could be. Of course, such texts represent events, create perspectives and detail key…

Yogācāra is one of the influential schools of Buddhist philosophy that emphasizes ontology through the heart of meditation and literally means the practice of yoga. Additionally, those who follow the Yogācāra are of an idealist approach and deny the existence of the external world, as well as any physical or material realities existing independently of the mind (Bartley, p. 68). The purpose of this paper is to outline three practical approaches to convince sixth century realist opponents that…

The never ending addiction really irritates me! Will it ever stop? Of course not; it’s merely the beginning of its incubation period. Although the word determination doesn’t always apply to everyone, inner strength is over rated - it’ll all go down the drain once you’re hooked. Your soul will become absorbed into defeat, and you cannot help yourself but to keep going back; it becomes a part of your life-style, a variable you’ll become dependent on. All routes to freedom from the venom of…

Parmenides argued that Homo sapiens are conscious beings and are constantly aware. We can state that something exists or it does not, that “what is is and what is not not” where is refers to existence, being and not refers to non-being and nothingness (pg xx). Plato concluded that there are two different realms, the realm of being and becoming. For Plato, the realm of being encompasses that things do not change, born or die whereas, the realm of becoming holds that things do change and perish.…

(I took this from the Meninist Facebook page. I’ve seen a few FB friends share it with no commentary, and it’s super disappointing to me. Here’s why.) There are a lot of problems I could address with it regarding definitions of feminism and empowerment and equality*, as well as its basic misunderstanding of the dichotomous imbalance in our society that makes this person’s suggestions for empowerment so unreasonable, but the one that I think is most essential to talk about right now is the…

Energy connected with The Basic Energies of The Universe, in other words, “through the Primordial Desire the ‘I’ is rooted in Matter and Matter is rooted in the ‘I’. The Primordial Desire is the first form of Energy through which the presence and Existence of the ‘I’ can be recognized.” (Quote from ‘LIVETS BOG’ Vol II, chapter #530) • A Consciousness of a Living Being is Conditioned and Maintained by…

issue of existentialism which arises from being rejected from society, respectively. Kafka demonstrates this through an allegory of religion and the unfulfilled life of an ordinary low-class worker. In the Penal Colony, the Old Commandant represents God. A “soldier, judge, engineer, chemist, and draftsman” whose actions and thoughts are unquestionable. The Officer treats his incomprehensible diagrams as religious…
