premise; all he or she has to do is acknowledge an objection to the premise and discount it as not being worthy enough to overrule the premise. A great example of this may be, “The truck is too big, but it is powerful.” This shows that the downside of the size of the truck is not a good enough reason to overrule the premise that the truck is powerful. Since the arguer has acknowledged the objection to his premise, the objector must look for another objection that may overrule the current premise…
being that can be conceived in both the mind and reality than it will be more powerful than God. Thus, God must exist in all possible worlds including the mental state and reality. One of the biggest objections to the ontological argument is the predicate objection. According to the predicate objection, giving something existence makes it greater, adding existence to something is also similar to adding property to something. Though the Ontological argument adds existence to God, a non believer…
The authors disagreed with the first moral objection because nurses do harm patients on a regular basis. Some of the patient’s treatment may inflict physical harm to the patient. This is unavoidable because the treatment that inflicts pain may actually benefit the patients’ health and well-being. However…
Reply to Objection 1: Parmenides, your notion of being is too strong. When it comes to the definition of being you provided, the idea that being cannot change is incorrect.

nevertheless, infer that a utilitarian objection to a utilitarian argument would present an essential and potentially dangerous threat to the argument's credibility. Perhaps the most serious challenge and criticism to the argument that we have a duty to aid the poor is that because the main reason of poverty is overpopulation. In addition, aiding those currently in poverty will only guarantee that yet more people are born to exist in poverty in the future. I believe this objection generates the…
analyze the debate in book 1 between Socrates, Cephalus and Polemarchus over the true definition of justice. In doing so, a summary of both Cephalus’s and Polemarchus’s arguments will be given as well as Socrates’s objections. Additionally, I will state why I believe Socrates’s objection was convincing. Finally, the question “what is Cephalus like as a character? What are his limitations?” will be answered through an examination of his old-fashioned, traditional Greek methodology. After…
underneath utilitarianism. In this paper I will argue that amongst many oppositions alongside this philosophy, with the objection of special obligation, that this viewpoint is advantageous on the consequence on an extensive pleasure.…
already legalized euthanasia making them a good example to follow. Last of all is that many of the common objections to the legalization of euthanasia in Canada are wrong. Due to these reasons, Euthanasia in Canada should be legalized. First of all, there are two types of Euthanasia: active euthanasia and passive euthanasia.…
Along with these assumptions, the authors do not adequately consider objections (Rule 32). The authors address the objection that receiving music files for free helps promote the artist with the counter-argument that this does not apply to other forms of media. Likewise, there are no concert tours for visual media and people rarely purchase memorabilia…
