There is so much anguish and suffering on earth that critics have questioned whether God created evil or not. Questions have been asked that if God is Almighty and all-knowing then why did He create disasters, diseases and wars to inflict excruciating pain on man. So if God is all-good and all-powerful why does evil exist? These are some of the fundamental questions that Augustine seeks answers. Additionally, he also ...

Analysis of an American Trial: The Salem Witch Trials of 1692

Today, the Salem village located in Massachusetts in the United States of America is notorious to the world for being the village, where unjustified witch prosecutions and trials took place.

The characters in the short stories, “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’Connor and “Young Goodman Brown” by Nathaniel Hawthorne allow their existence to be transformed by evil threats.

It is evident that Brown, Misfit and the Grandmother differ on the way they handle evil. Nevertheless, these characters go astray resulting to isolation from the society. In both stories, evil is represented by ...

Most folks in the world are disheartened by the bitter fact that evil happens. People are astonishment as to why God can exist and at the same time allow the evil we see and experience each and every day in our environs to prevail (Braine 1-10). They fail to fathom the reason why a capable God would by genuine reasons agree to the notion that the power of choice should be bestowed in humans. They claim that if God is a loving God, he ought to allow his creations to decide if he really hopes to see a world ...

Part I Question 2: Ontological arguments

Ontological arguments are a category of philosophical arguments that support the existence of God using ontology. There are many arguments classified under the category of ontological. Normally ontological arguments normally start a priory theory about how the universe is organized. The argument states that if it is true that the universe is organized, then it will give reasons as to why God must exist (Schlesinger, 85). They rationally support God’s existence. The ontological argument that God exists was first created in the proslogion of Anselm (1033-1109). Immanuel Kant was the first person to call the argument ‘ontological.’ Kant ...

The Tempest illustrates Shakespeare’s idea of power and how it is exercised. In the island where all the characters were brought together by the tempest, their individual desire for power and how they plan to achieve it shows how man constantly struggles to possess power and rule over others. This characteristic of man is explained in Friedrich Nietzsche’s view of power, which states that it is the Will to Power that drives man to desire control and achieve it. He explains that life is a plurality of forces striving after an increase in the feeling of power, ...

It is a common norm for scientists to use “proofs” to describe the reasoning for various things. Scientists make use of these proofs to explain why something happens. For instance, geologists believe that the earth possesses an electromagnetic field that acts as a protector against destructive solar winds. These geologists have never really witnessed or seen this field, yet they strongly believe it to be the most plausible explanation of why the earth is protected from destructive solar winds. This analogy is comparable to the use of ‘proofs” by Christians to make strong arguments about God’s existence. When ...

The production I watched on YouTube was a modern interpretation of the classic Swan Lake ballet by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky written circa 1875–1876. I searched in the site for more information regarding where this particular production took place, the name of the city or theater but I could not find it. There was no mention of the name of the ballet company or the names of the principal dancers. As would be expected, this dearth of information extended to the orchestra and its conductor. No credit was given to lighting, sound or set design as well. In this ...

Plato's greatest and most enduring work remains ‘The Republic.’ Plato called this work as paideia; where the physical, spiritual and mental development of an individual was of utmost importance in constructive, societal development. Plato was a man filled with faith in human nature. Plato’s philosophy of human nature doing evil was that a person only does evil in ignorance, for he believed everyone, just as himself wanted only what was good. The source of someone doing evil is brought about by unlimited desire. In Book 3, part 405a to 406e, Socrates yearns for an honest and disciplined society, ...

The general meaning of theology finds basis in an organized and coherent study of God within a religious setting. In addition, theology can be used to define the action of seeking out facts surrounding religion. In “The Moody Handbook of Theology: Revised and Expanded,” Enns (2008) concurs with this when he states that, “The word “theology” comes from two Greek words that combined mean “the study of God.” With regard to Christianity, theology revolves around the bible and known historic events that are believed to have occurred among the Christian body.

Macbeth is one of the most brilliant, fascinating, well thought works of Shakespeare. Equally, it is widely accepted as one of Shakespeare’s darkest works. The play is set in the Victorian age and pundits and critics have come to describe it as a tragedy.

Macbeth ambition is further increased when a ...

In this paper, I argue that God – an all-good, all-powerful, and all-knowing entity with a perfect will that can only choose according to His nature (that is, what is good) – exists (Slide 3). Evil also exists. In addition, created nature (human nature and all things in nature), which is compatible either to God or evil or both, exists as a meaningful context of the existence of God and evil.
If God’s nature is all good, then His nature is not compatible with evil. Thus, there is no evil in Him or in ...

The problem of evil is a central point of interest in theology. It is a philosophically a problem of interest especially in religions with an omnipotent and omniscient deity like. The problem of evil has produced paradoxes such as the Epicurean paradox. The story of Job in the Torah presents an interesting perspective of evil that is not to be seen anywhere.

It appears that McCloskey is trying to support and substantiate his case for atheism by adopting a very narrow and objective approach.

An Objection to Augustine’s Response to the Problem of Evil in On the Free Choice of the Will

A contemporary Catholic apologist sums up the problem of evil nicely: “If God is so good, why is his world so bad?” (Kreeft 54). In this paper, Augustine’s response to the problem of evil will be analyzed and found to be lacking as an adequate resolution to the problem. The paper that follows is a reflection based on the readings from From Plato to Derrida, paying special attention to Augustine’s texts on evil. Augustine tries to attack what we mean when we say “evil,” but his argument insufficiently glosses over the larger issue of human suffering, and ...

Augustine made an immense contribution to Christian tradition. In Book 7 of the Confessions, he talks of how philosophy is related to theology and faith. With regard to Platonist teachings about God and evil, Augustine acknowledges that Platonists helped him know the relationship existing between God and the finite creation as much as understanding evil. According to him there is a relation between God and man and not evil. Evil exits because it was created by God. But then the truth about all these is that when individuals do good things they serve their role in the functioning of ...

In the quest for certainty, Descartes realizes that some of his beliefs he holds are wrong or bad. After realizing the possibility of having bad beliefs, Descartes notes that other beliefs might be bad too.

Be it humans, figures, animals, the author can make a character out of anything (Josephs, 1995).

In a diegetic characterization, the author reveals to the readers the character by explicitly telling them who he is. This achievement uses the third person where the author is in the observer’s ...
