promoting the well-being of a specific person. While it is true that God does not need anybody to help maintain and promote his well-being, it seems to be taken too far in terms of each distinct persons of the Trinity. Wolterstorff seems to lose the unity of the Trinity in his critique and overemphasizes each distinct persons by saying that they do not need each other. Additionally, Wolterstorff loses the concept of perichoretic love when discussing agapic love. If agapic love is a love of…

intellect or the faculties where clear and distinct ideas reside, and the will which acts by making God intervene our judgment about the clear and distinct ideas. God is not essentially any more free than we are. The source of error of man is the simultaneous application of his unlimited choice or will to his very limited knowledge or intellect. Man, using will, can choose: the false instead of the true, where it can affirm or deny what is not clear and distinct, or the evil instead of good.…
exists (without the help of God). Moreover, there needs to be some kind of proof that our ideas and sense-created images of the world actually depict what exists in reality, if we want to have any certainty of it. Descartes claims to have a clear and distinct idea of God. This God is “all-powerful, perfect and infinite” (cite). He suggests that God has endowed him with the ability to know the reality of the world by reflecting on his reason. The reality of the world consists…
Literature. His short stories and novels are so unique that he is easily one of the important figures of the modern literary era and American Literature in general.

A person’s customs represents a person’s identity so when a person comes…
In the Meditations on First Philosophy, Descartes attempted to establish a firm and permanent foundation for scientific knowledge. Philosophers raise the question of whether or not Descartes ' epistemological project was successful. Antoine Arnauld criticized Descartes ' project and accused him of circular reasoning. Many philosophers try to defend Descartes from this objection. However, Arnauld 's objection makes a valid criticism, which shows that Descartes ' epistemological project ultimately…
In the film, Elf, Buddy, a human raised by elves, never quite “fits in” with those around him. As he leaves the North Pole in search of his father, he acts in a rather distinct manner. Thus, in Elf, as directed by Jon Favreau, Buddy’s interactions with others and his surroundings highlight his unique identity. Being a human in the elf-dominated world, Buddy undoubtedly stuck out physically. He was several feet taller, he was heavier, and he struggled to cope in the petite elvish world,…
