Thomas Aquinas was a 13th century philosopher whose main theories were that matter and essence are connected in physical objects, knowledge starts with sense perception and can be expanded through reason, and inductive reasoning can be used to achieve generalizations. He believed both sense experiences and revelation provide truth for humans and will never conflict. Aquinas argued for God's existence through five ways: motion requires a prior mover, causation requires a first cause, contingency requires something for existence, perfection requires a highest degree, and order requires an intelligence. He disagreed with Plato's theory of forms and some theologians who doubted Jesus as God's son. Aquinas was an empiricist who believed experience and evidence were important and combined science with

Chapter 2 lesson 3
The document discusses three theories of truth: coherence theory, correspondence theory, and pragmatic theory. Coherence theory deals with well-formed formulas that have been proven true within a system. Correspondence theory relates knowledge claims to real world states of affairs. Pragmatic theory sees truth as based on practical consequences of ideas. The document also examines sources of knowledge and developing a skeptical approach to separate facts from opinions.
Donne philosophy
This document discusses various philosophical perspectives on metaphysics and the nature of reality. It covers ideas from Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, St. Augustine, Aquinas, and others. The key debates discussed are: 1) what lies beyond the physical world - pluralists believe in multiple afterlives while monists believe in one, 2) the relationship between permanence and change, and 3) the problems of the mind-body relationship and free will.

1. Substance dualism holds that minds and bodies are distinct entities - minds are non-physical thinking substances, while bodies are physical substances located in space and time.
2. Near-death experiences are cited as evidence that the mind can exist independently of the body, but they can be explained by biological factors like oxygen deprivation or drugs.
3. An argument is presented for substance dualism based on conceivability, but it is problematic because it does not account for the evident relationship and influence between the mind and body.
Theory of reality
This document discusses several philosophical concepts:
1. Philosophy is defined as the science of the logical foundation of all knowledge and the highest level of generalization from scientific research.
2. Metaphysics is the study of the logical foundations of science and the theory of reality, or the highest generalizations about what exists in the world based on our current knowledge.
3. Key aspects of reality that metaphysics examines include what kinds of things exist, how many kinds there are, and how they are related.
Existence of-god
This document discusses the debate around the existence of God. It begins with definitions of God from different religions and perspectives. It then outlines four main arguments that have been made for the existence of God, including cause and effect and cosmological arguments. The document also presents four counterarguments against God's existence, such as that evidence of existence is not logical and scientific discoveries have called God into question. It concludes by noting that the debate between belief in God's existence versus non-existence has troubled humankind for thousands of years.
Chapter 2a
This document discusses various views of God and identifies problems with views that differ from theism. It defines theism as the view that God created all and is both beyond the world and active within it. Other views addressed include deism, which holds God is beyond the world but not active within; finite godism, where God is limited; atheism, which denies God's existence; pantheism, where God is equivalent to the universe; polytheism; and panentheism. The document also discusses neotheism and identifies logical inconsistencies within that view.

The document provides an overview of early Greek philosophers known as the pre-Socratics, who lived before Socrates and were interested in fundamental questions about the natural world. It summarizes the key ideas of important pre-Socratic thinkers like Thales, Anaximander, Anaximenes, Pythagoras, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Zeno, Empedocles, Anaxagoras, Protagoras and Gorgias. Their theories spanned materialism, dualism, becoming, being, the four elements, thought and reason, skepticism and relativism.
Philosophy - Validity of knowledge
This document discusses different theories of truth and validity of knowledge. It outlines four main theories of truth - conformity theory, coherence theory, pragmatic theory, and Marxist theory. It then discusses views of truth and reality from Plato and Aristotle, rationalists like Descartes, empiricists like Bacon and Locke, idealists like Emerson and Hegel, phenomenologists like Husserl, and pragmatists like William James. The document provides details on each view and theorists' perspectives on what constitutes true knowledge and reality.

Heterodox system of caruvaka
The Carvaka system was a heterodox school of Indian philosophy that rejected supernatural concepts like the soul, god, and the afterlife. It took a scientific and naturalistic approach, believing that phenomena have natural rather than supernatural causes. Epistemologically, it considered perception to be the only reliable source of knowledge and viewed inference as fallible. Ethically, it promoted egoism and hedonism, believing individual pleasure is the sole good and one has no obligations to promote social welfare beyond one's own interests. Its educational implications included rejecting moral/religious instruction, emphasizing direct experience and perceptual learning over inference, and using active, experiential teaching methods.
Chapter 12
This document discusses different methods used in theology and their proponents. It argues that methodology is important because it determines the conclusions reached. Naturalistic methods will inevitably lead to naturalistic conclusions, while methods open to the supernatural will not rule out supernatural conclusions. It also discusses category mistakes in applying methods from one discipline to another inappropriately. Methods must not be antisupernatural or incompatible with evangelical beliefs to be valid for theology.
eBook of The Evolution Of Man Scientifically Disproved, by William A_ Williams
This document provides a lengthy introduction and overview of arguments against the theory of evolution, specifically as it relates to human origins. It begins by establishing the need to critically examine new hypotheses with an open mind, while also rejecting theories that are untrue or harmful. The document then outlines different theories of evolution and defines the terms that will be used. It indicates that the document will present 50 arguments against human evolution from a scientific standpoint, examining the evidence and facts. The summary focuses on the high-level structure and purpose, without delving into the specific arguments presented.
2. meaning of philosophy
Philosophy is defined as the quest for truth through logical reasoning rather than empirical observation. The main branches of philosophy are metaphysics, epistemology, and axiology. Metaphysics deals with the nature of reality and being. Epistemology is the study of knowledge and how we know what is true. Axiology studies values and determines what is considered good. Ethics is derived from axiology and examines the morality of human actions.
Quintilian's theory
Quintilian believed that all forms of knowledge were equally important and that speaking, writing and reading were the most dominant skills. He argued that talent and good attributes require a skilled teacher, persistent study, and continued practice to be profitable. Quintilian advised parents to ensure nurses speak properly from birth and devote care to fostering oratory skills. If resources are unavailable, there should be someone to correct speech. Quintilian believed knowledge can only be acquired through proper education, not inherently, and that oratory is the proper training to attain knowledge. Although knowledge is not inherent, humans are born with a natural quest for reason according to Quintilian.
The Intersection of Philosophy, Science, and Theology
This document discusses the intersection of philosophy, science, and theology. It explores how these fields investigate topics like the origin of the universe, life, and consciousness. Philosophy examines existence, science studies the natural world, and theology investigates humanity's relationship with the divine. While these fields have different approaches, they sometimes overlap on certain issues. The document also evaluates atheism and Christianity based on their internal consistency, consistency with the world, and fruits born from each system of thought.
From Dust to Dust
Science and theology can enrich each other when properly understood. Science offers explanations of natural phenomena while theology explains spiritual truths. Problems arise when science makes claims outside its scope, such as denying God, or when theology makes scientific claims. Philosophy helps ensure science and theology stay within their proper domains. Both fields can benefit from thoughtful dialogue between them to develop a more comprehensive view of reality.
Logic4
The document discusses several philosophical theories of knowledge:
1) Empiricism claims knowledge comes from sense experience, while rationalism claims ideas are formed through reason alone.
2) Skepticism doubts the possibility of certain knowledge from senses or reason.
3) Correspondence theory holds that true beliefs correspond to reality while false beliefs do not. It is criticized for not allowing for false beliefs.
4) Pragmatic theory claims ideas are true if they have practical and desirable consequences. It is criticized for allowing truth to vary between individuals.
5) Coherence theory holds a set of beliefs is true if consistent and does not contradict other knowledge.
Science and Religion by nicholas davaris 1
The document discusses the relationship between science and religion. It covers several topics:
1) What ancient Greeks believed, including myths and early philosophers' theories on the origins of the world.
2) Important scientists like Galileo, Newton, and Darwin and how their views related to religion. Galileo challenged the Catholic Church, Newton believed science, religion, and alchemy could work together, and Darwin had doubts about religion.
3) Major world religions and their perspectives on the origins and nature of the world. Christianity, Islam, and Judaism share similar creation stories, while others like Hinduism and Buddhism have diverse beliefs.
4) Potential views on the relationship between science and religion, including that they seek
Contributions of aristotle in psychology
Aristotle made many important early contributions to psychology. He suggested that the soul and body are not separate, and that knowledge comes from experience. Aristotle proposed that the mind was the primary reason for the body's existence and functioning. He described three types of souls - plant, animal, and human - with the human soul uniquely enabling reason. Aristotle also described the four causes of things - material, formal, efficient, and final. He addressed relationships between impulses and urges, believing desire and reason determine actions. Aristotle uniquely understood the influence of time on actions and how humans can remember one thing by observing another.
Frank sewall thenewmetaphysics-london-1888
This document introduces the concept of a "New Metaphysics" that aims to go beyond the traditional approaches of monism and dualism. It discusses the history of metaphysical thought, from early philosophers like Plato and Aristotle up to modern thinkers. While monism sees matter and spirit as the same substance, dualism sees them as completely separate. However, both views have difficulties. The document proposes that a "third position" may be needed that recognizes degrees between matter and spirit. It aims to provide a new framework for understanding the relationship between the physical and non-physical worlds.
st. augustine and st thomas.
St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas both put forth philosophical arguments for the existence of God, though they differed in their approaches. St. Augustine used an ideal ontological argument, asserting that God helps humans find truth from within. He also argued that creation reflects God's divine ideas. St. Thomas Aquinas put forth five cosmological arguments including observing movement, cause and effect, varying levels of perfection, and that natural beings require an intelligent creator. Both philosophers believed in God as the exemplar of creation and agreed that faith and reason are needed for understanding the world. They thus made important contributions to the merging of philosophy and Christian theology.

- Plato believed there is a transcendent form of the good that exists beyond concrete goods and acts. It is the source of all being and order in the universe.
- Thomas Aquinas drew on Plato's concept of the good in developing his own theory of natural law. For Aquinas, natural law provides a rational basis for ethics grounded in human nature, as opposed to divine command or social construction.
- Aquinas situated his moral theory, including natural law, within the larger context of Christianity - that humans are created by God to seek our ultimate happiness in Him.

This document discusses the relationship between science and theology. It argues that the two fields can co-exist and even complement each other. While science uses observation and experimentation to study the physical world, theology addresses non-physical topics like morality, values, and spirituality. Both fields are attempting to understand and explain the world from different perspectives. Examples are given of how scientific discoveries like evolution, cosmology, and physics can enhance theological understanding of concepts like creation and design. Famous scientists from history like Newton and Mendel integrated their scientific work with their religious faith.

It defines key terms like a priori and posteriori knowledge, and debates around nativism vs empiricism. Regarding how truth can be known, it examines perspectives like authority, empiricism, rationalism, aestheticism, pragmatism, and skepticism. When discussing causality and psychology, it outlines Aristotle's four levels of causation and debates around free will vs determinism. Regarding the mind-body problem, it presents various monist, dualist, and pluralist positions. It also discusses two theories of psychogeny - identity theory and emergentism.

Philosophy-Lecture-1.pptx
This document provides an introduction to philosophy and some of its key concepts. It discusses that philosophy originated in Ancient Greece and has two main branches: Western philosophy which emphasizes reason and individualism, and Eastern philosophy which is more closely tied to religion. It then profiles some of the most notable ancient Greek philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle and their contributions. The document also outlines the main branches of philosophy like logic, ethics, and metaphysics. It explores some of the fundamental questions philosophers ponder, such as questions about reality, certainty, causality, and ethics.
Topic 9 existence of god
This document discusses various philosophical and theological concepts relating to spirituality, the nature of humanity, and the existence and role of God. It explores different views on whether humans are composed of body, soul, and spirit or just body and spirit. It also examines arguments for the existence of God like the cosmological, teleological, and ontological arguments. Characteristics of monotheism like omniscience, omnipotence, and divine simplicity are outlined. The document also discusses how humans can connect with the divine through practices like prayer, meditation, and how spirituality can be applied in life.
A Cosmological Argument for the Existence of God.pdf
The document presents a cosmological argument for the existence of God based on the origin and nature of the universe:
1) It argues that everything that begins to exist must have a cause, and evidence suggests the universe began to exist a finite time ago (as supported by the Big Bang theory), therefore the universe must have had a cause.
2) This first cause of the universe (often called the "prime mover") would possess characteristics like eternality and power, similar to the God of Christianity.
3) Additional philosophical arguments are made to further establish that this prime mover is best explained as the God of Christianity, rather than other conceptions of a first cause.
Educational Philosophy: IDEALISM; POSITIVISM
The document discusses different philosophical beliefs regarding the origins and nature of knowledge. It describes empiricism as the view that all knowledge is derived from sensory experience and the senses. More radical forms of empiricism hold that only claims that can be empirically tested and verified have meaning. Moderate empiricism allows some exceptions. Idealism believes objective knowledge is subjective and ideas are most important. Positivism is the view that assertions must be scientifically verified or logically/mathematically proven to be considered knowledge, rejecting metaphysics and theism. Auguste Comte argued knowledge develops through theological, metaphysical and positive stages focused on science.
Thomas aquinas
Thomas Aquinas was a 13th century Italian Dominican theologian and philosopher who was highly influential in medieval scholasticism. He developed five arguments for the existence of God, known as the "five ways," which attempted to logically prove God's existence from motion, causation, contingency, degrees of perfection, and teleology. His most famous work, the Summa Theologica, synthesized Aristotle's philosophy with Christian theology and discussed topics like virtue, Christ, and the Trinity.
Philosophy of man 5
Rationalism is a philosophical system that emphasizes the role of reason in obtaining knowledge, in contrast to empiricism which emphasizes experience and sense perception. Some key rationalist philosophers discussed in the document include Baruch Spinoza, Gottfried Leibniz, Rene Descartes, and Plato. Spinoza believed that God and nature are the same reality and that there is no free will. Leibniz proposed the theory of monads and preestablished harmony. Descartes emphasized using skepticism and reason to find certainty, stating "I think, therefore I am". Plato believed ideas are immutable and the goal of education is knowledge of the good. The document contrasts rationalism with empiricism and discusses rationalism in various fields such

Epistemology is the branch of philosophy that investigates the origin, nature, methods and limits of human knowledge. It seeks to understand what knowledge is, how it is acquired, and what can be known. There are different theories about the nature of knowledge, including empiricism which believes knowledge comes from sensory experience, rationalism which believes knowledge comes from reason, and idealism which believes reality is associated with ideas rather than material objects. Skepticism also questions the extent and limitations of human knowledge. Epistemologists explore questions around whether knowledge is possible and what types of knowledge exist.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
