Discussions of the Cosmological, Ontological and Teleological Arguments and Criticisms on the Existence of God by Descartes, Kant and Hume
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 9 page paper discussing the cosmological, ontological and teleological arguments and criticisms in regards to the existence of God by Descartes, Kant and Hume. Rene Descartes, Immanuel Kant and David Hume among many others have arguments in regards to the existence of God. Descartes offered cosmological and ontological arguments for the existence of God. Descartes’ cosmological argument is causal in its format as it is based on the premise that the idea of infinite perfection could only originate from the real existence of an infinite being. From an ontological perspective, Descartes offers a more simple presupposition in that whatever he clearly can perceive is true and if he can perceive the idea of God, then God exists. Kant argues primarily against the use of presuppositions in Descartes arguments as he notes that “existence is not a property or predicate” but merely a “positing of a thing”. Hume, on the other hand criticizes the arguments on the basis that “matter of fact” can only be based on experience. In addition, “whatever we conceive as existent, we can also conceive as non-existent”. Hume also argues against the analogies used in the teleological arguments for the existence of God because they too can never settle a factual question and to assume that one can know a cause of an action without experiencing it is a faulty and misleading assumption as events or actions can be caused by multiple purposes and no one cause can be assumed.

Dismantling Truth
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper which discusses the subject of solidarity versus objectivity as is presented in the article “Dismantling Truth : Solidarity versus Objectivity,” by Richard Rorty. In this paper we address the illustrations provided by Rorty as he demonstrates, and attempts to explain, how truth should have its own language that could prove flexible and inclusive in relationship to the gap that exists between the sciences and the humanities. In addressing this concern of Rorty’s we look at some of the issues he has brought up and compare them with realities that help to define his ideas. No additional sources cited.

Do We Feed the Poor?
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing whether the rich countries of the world have a moral obligation to feed the poor ones. 'Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime' applies, but there seem to be few who believe it. The views of Peter Singer and Garrett Hardin are compared in this paper, but both views are only in absolute terms. Neither author appears to be willing to consider alternatives that are any more cooperative than the passage of sentence in the Roman Coliseum. For them, it is either thumbs up or thumbs down on the hungry of the world, while actual solution is much more likely through the extended hand that also can grasp a shovel. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
