In The Politics, Aristotle questions the compatibility of commerce and “the good life,” a lifestyle involving political participation, financial independence, and philosophical thought that culminates in the fullest development of reason and other faculties (3). In particular, he contests the view of Solon, an Athenian politician and firm proponent of commerce and trade, who believed that “no bound to riches has been fixed by man” (11). Aristotle provides three reasons to combat Solon: the scarcity of all resources, the limitless greed of man, and the perversion of natural trade. He offers an alternative idea by stating the “instruments of any art are never unlimited,” the art here being wealth getting; thus, there is a bound to the riches…

And those in “The Outcasts of Poker Flat”, a short narrative by Bret Harte, are no exception to this form of natural law. In fact, the main idea of this exemplum was that even people who have done bad things can still have a little bit of hidden…

In the following essay, I will explain how Aquinas thinks God is not responsible for moral evil. On Aquinas’s account, everything in the universe aims for the good. And to be good means to be desirable. For example, a good husband is a man who has achieved perfection in terms of the duties he ought to perform towards his wife by virtue of being married to her. If the good thing is able to manifest its desirability, it follows that the good thing should also necessarily exist. Aquinas argues…
Evil has gone on since the beginning of time and it doesn’t stop at any point. If there is a God, then why would this God allow evil to come and ruin many people’s lives?

This goes on with the relationship between justice and vengeance and how the two can’t live without the other. Though it may be hard to actually consider this, there are many forms to…
