Immanuel Kant’s “Religion Within the Limits of Reason Alone”
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the thinking of Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) who is often described as one of the greatest of all philosophers in relationship to what he wrote and thought about religion and the “religion of morality.” In Kant’s opinion, the moral point of view is impartial and favors no particular individual. Morality requires an individual, according to Kant, that he or she act on a maxim that they can universalize, in other words that his or her reasons for a certain action could be considered valid for anyone in a comparable situation.

Is It Reasonable To Believe That God Exists?
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Of all the contemplative questions for which people struggle to find answers, none can be as immense or elusive as whether or not God exists. Supporters contend there is absolutely no doubt as to His existence and to question the validity of this claim is to question one's own existence. Others, however, require more than mere verbal validation in order to find it reasonable to believe that God exists, which is why myriad debates on the subject end up focusing upon a more palpable approach to supporting God's legitimacy.

Is There a God?
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page paper asks whether we have created the concept of God as a means of rationalizing and dealing with death. It explores the philosophy of Leibniz and the research findings that led Francis Crick to abandon his hypothesis that the origin of life from some grand primordial soup is valid. Failing all else, we can give up and believe that the universe originated at the hand of an intelligent and benevolent Creator. Plato’s belief that a single soul occupies many bodies gives us a basis for the ongoing nature of the soul. It is not necessary to create a God for the same purpose. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Jean Paul Sartre’s “The Wall”
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses Jean Paul Sartre’s short story, “The Wall,” which takes place during the 1930s in the era of the Spanish Civil War. Three men are arrested, placed on trial, and sentenced to death for rather nebulous political reasons. The authorities are prepared to execute people for little or no reason whatsoever, and this lack of causality -- so predominant in existentialism -- is a favorite theme of Sartre’s. “The Wall” serves as an excellent example of existential writing in that we are what we are, what happens, happens, and what you see is what you get.

Jean Paul Sartre’s Understanding of the Relationship Between Freedom and Responsibility
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses philosopher Jean Paul Sartre (1905-1980)who offered the world a different vision regarding the nature of the individual’s responsibility for him or herself. The report addresses Sartre’s point of view regarding personal freedom and responsibility. He believed that: “Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself. Such is the first principle of existentialism.” Of course, if choice is completely open-ended, if freedom means entitlement to do and every kind of action that can be imagined, how would such freedom have an impact on human beings in terms of how they exist in the social realm that includes other human beings?

John Locke and David Hume on Power, Cause and Effect and Necessary Connections in their Essays Concerning Human Understanding
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing Locke and Hume’s perspectives on power, cause and effect, and necessary connections in their essays on human understanding. Philosophers John Locke and David Hume wrote on human understanding in regards to relationships, power, cause and effect and necessary connection. Locke who wrote “An Essay Concerning Human Understanding” in the late 17th century wrote of the relationships which exist between active and passive power, and the presence of cause and effect as necessary connections in the formulation of individual thoughts of substance, perceptions and ideas. David Hume, who wrote “An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding” in the mid-18th century basically rejected the causal connections argued by Locke in that man can only gain impressions or ideas from his own experience and that these ideas have “unknown causes”. In addition, things of substance and power are also only based on impressions and perceptions and cannot be considered concrete arguments. Both perspectives are still well received today but with some areas of contention. Locke presents a great deal of his material based on the assumption of God’s existence. However, his support of arguments for cause and effect hold within the scientific community. Hume, on the other hand, presents his arguments from a skeptical or atheist standpoint in which perceptions or ideas can only be formulated from experience; ideas also supported by the scientific community. However, Hume rejects the reliance of cause and effect to support arguments; a reliance which of course is a large factor in today’s society, not only from a scientific standpoint but from a philosophical and political standpoint as well.
