Nihilism the philosophical belief that nothing in this world has any real meaning or purpose of its existence. It rejects all religious and moral principles. So in simple terms life is meaningless. I know, why the hell would a person be interesting in researching like this. For many it's depressing and grim but, for me it's a look at reality. Let's start with moral values like empathy. First I'll define empathy; it is the ability to understand and feel what another person is experiencing. Now…

Peaceful Place Collage This collage-making process was new to me but very fun to do. I really liked how you could layer as many pieces of paper as you want and make so many pieces look seamless enough to look like one piece of paper. For this Peaceful Place collage, I used cardstock paper, fabric material, magazine paper, marble paper, and wood paper to get a variety of textures and colors. I used a layering technique by layering pieces of paper, making them blend together as if they were paint…

Obviously in front of an audience comics attempt with all their mind matter cells to lead hilarious transmissions along the axon's to the nerves that control the muscles of their fluttering lips so stable falls on ears that are not hard of hearing and persons can hear amusing things that can't be seen. Can a picture the comic paints in your brain be seen? Then again can just pictures you find actually be seen as captured impressions? I let you know this article was about something interesting…

Spiritual Healing When we don’t feel well, we look for ways to cure ourselves. There are many remedies depending on what we think is the root cause of our illness. When the cause is physical, we seek help from orthodox medical practitioners. This is called allopathic medicine. When the cause is spiritual, we seek spiritual healing. Spiritual healing is not the same as faith healing. Faith healing is based on a strong belief in a supreme deity. It works on the basis that the supreme deity does…

In the second meditation Descartes explains why he no longer believes in what he tried to explain in his previous meditation. He now thinks that the mind knows more than the body does. He believes that one can not trust the senses to know things because one object can present itself in many different forms. This explanation is derived from his discussion about wax, and how although when it is heated all of its physical properties change. However, even though the physical properties change, we…

I. Introduction Over the last few thousand years or so, the question of whether God exists or not has been under serious examination. There are only two answers to this question: either you do believe in God’s existence or you don’t. Even if all the evidence in the entire universe leans towards the latter, some people still assume that a supernatural being exists. Blaise Pascal was one of these individuals, and he also believes that regardless of whether it’s probable or not, it’s in your…

Garson Poole was deeply disconcerted upon discovering the illusory nature of his existence. Poole was not human, as he had always assumed; instead, he was the product of human thought, an engineered vessel of circuits bound to the will of its creator. The details of his life, which had once seemed so concrete, were revealed to be falsehoods: his life’s purpose was dictated by an unknown entity and his reality was the vision of a detached artist. Realizing his condition, Poole felt compelled to…

God Defies Logic There is a timeless argument that if God is all-powerful (P), all-knowing (K), and morally perfect (M), a truly PKM God, and evil exists, then a PKM God defies logic. From a logical perspective, this argument makes sense. The dilemma arises, however, that if God defies logic, then the inverse is that logic defies God. That is, a PKM God does not follow the laws of logic as mere humans may conceptualize. In a black and white, right or wrong world, the argument that if…

Sharena Roberson PHL206-D Professor Mark E. Weber October 19,2015 Teleological Arguments for the Existence of God A teleological argument is one of the most popular arguments of the existence of God. It bases the proof of the existence of God on the order and design of nature, or the structure of the universe.The universe didn’t just happen by chance and there is a purpose or goal. It is a causal argument and focus on modern ideas. There are several types of teleological arguments presented for…

1. What is the problem of change and how does Aristotle answer it? The problem of change is essentially the fact that when something comes to be, it is a thing or an object. However, it is uncertain what the initial object was and we are offered two options. We are told it is what it is or it is not what it is. The issue arises that if it is what it comes to be, then no real change has taken place and therefore, change doesn’t exist. The other being that if the original object is not what it is…
