Faith and rationality

Ever since I got the opportunity to choose my theology project topic, “ Faith and Reason: Why Science and Catholicism are made for each other? Today many claim that the Church is anti-science, or that science is the “new religion” and Catholicism is no longer relevant. Explore the history of both the Church and science, and the history of these accusations. Explain why both need each other, ” I was excited for this project to begin. One thing I did not realize though was how extensive it was going to be. Having grown up with science in my life and a true passion for it, I thought it was going to be a breeze, but that was not the case. Talking to people about my topic was one of the toughest things I had to do. Most times, the question came to…

Weber authenticated rationality pertaining to values and believed that who are hopeful of the capitalist economy, liberal politics and rationality to rescue human kinds are wrong and he sought an alternative way. He put emphasis on religious faith & morality and believed: “If values become restored, human life will survive from this condition. However, there is an important question in here: “What are these values?”. It seems the values require theoretical bases and epistemology. In other words,…

The P1 engages with the task of action theory along the line of the Kant’s conception of rationality. The core of this conception is whatever we do is from and for a reason. Wood formulates this as follows: It ought to be utterly uncontroversial that whatever we do, we should act for reasons, and therefore from a reason. It is a virtual tautology to say that what we should do is the same as whatever there are the best (or at least good enough) reasons to do, and that we should do it for (or…

Two core principles create the foundation for the OneState in Zamyatin’s We: the idea that humans are machines that need to be perfected, and the idea that rationality is the only correct way of thinking about the world. Both of these principles are not inherently evil or irrational, however, as the OneState takes their ideals to the extreme, their principles become less understandable and increasingly unreasonable. D-503’s use of mathematical language and the way he punctuates his record…

health and environmental hazards. Some things that are not efficient for customers are, sometimes it gets to busy, its somewhat handicap accessible but it could be better. When you walk through the door there is not enough space to get to the other door. McDonalds has a few things that portray illusion of fun.

Neorealism assumes the state will always make the rational choice to maximize its utility. In neoliberalism, non-state actors such as civil societies and individuals also make rational choices. Both theories borrow ideas from the theory of rationalism (Wendt, 1992). Constructivism, on the other hand, does not make such assumption about rationality. By no means is constructivism suggesting that actors are irrational, but it provides us with two cautionary tales about rationality. The first…

In the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare, Hamlet, the main character, is perceived by the audience as mad and he purposely tries to make an impression on the audience as well as the characters around him as insane. However, no one is actually aware when Hamlet 's bouts of insanity are real and when they are not. His sanity is also questionable because one does not know if Hamlet 's sanity is a cover for his insanity or if his sanity is the reality and his insanity is the act. Additionally,…

Swift proposes “he shall take in whole number infants at a certain age who are born of parents in effect as little able to support them as those who demanded our charity in the streets”() Though, who said those parents want to hand over the children to be the communities meat market. Swift also introduces another “great” advantage to his scheme, that it will prevent those voluntary abortions, although this is not a logical or rational thought. If the practice of eating children were to happen…

Every individual’s perception of money is different and therefore the way they value its significance is also different.

Concepts like these define how the…
