Read the article Medieval Philosophy from the web Stanford Encyclopedia of philosophy Explain the sharp

Read the article Medieval Philosophy from the web, Stanford Encyclopedia of philosophy. Explain the sharp contrast between the Ancient/Greek philosophy with Medieval Philosophy in general and compare the views and methods used by the Greeks thinkers (Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle) with the Medieval thinkers (Augustine, Anselm, and Aquinas) regarding their view on reality, nature and existence of God, immortality of soul, human nature, etc.  Review the content of Augustine’s Confession, Anselm’s Proslogion, and Aquinas’ Summa Theologica as excerpted in the textbook. What are the positive and negative views which are discovered from both Greek and medieval metaphysics. Which of the two metaphysical sources would modern culture prefer to take as a good standpoint for explaining issues regarding nature of reality, human nature, existence of God, problem of evil, etc.?

Question: With reference to Pike’s article, how could it be said that

Question: With reference to Pike’s article, how could it be said that Divine Omniscience challenges the idea that humans have free will? Answer: Hello class, Congratulations on making it past the halfway point in the class. This weeks content is such a good discussion. I believe that in a normal setting it isn’t spoken about much unless you are in company that you know shares your same ideals so I think it will be fascinating to see everybody’s posts. Nelson Pike had an excellent article on the topic but I am going to talk about where he talks on God’s knowledge of the future. Pike writes ‘The doctrine of God’s knowing everything from eternity is very obscure. One particularly difficult question concerning this doctrine is whether it entails that with respect to everything that was, is, or will be the case, God knew in advance that it would be the case’ (Pike, 1965). This is an age old question that just about every believer has asked I would assume. I know for me I have personally asked many pastors this questions. In times of mourning it seems to be the first thing that pops into my head. I think ‘How could God let this happen’? While I don’t think it has an obvious answer I do believe that there are some things about God that we will never understand. This statement also brings up the point to challenge free will because if God is all knowing and controls each event than man does not have free will even though it may feel like it. This is another tricky situation as I believe I wake up each day and choose to do what I want. However, if this is all planned out ahead of time does that mean I am just following the plan? This article has brought up some excellent thoughts that I can’t wait to go into with you all. Have a great week 5! Terrance Reference Pike, N. (1965).

Question: With reference to Anselm’s Ontological Argument for the existence of

Question:   With reference to Anselm’s Ontological Argument for the existence of God, evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of his argument. Answer:  Anselm’s argument on God was that God is the being that is greater than anyone can imagine, and that if one thinks of a great being, that being is not God since such a great being can not be thought of, because his existence can not be proven using any logical or scientific means. It in a way falls under the category of Agnostic Theism. In my personal opinion, if there were to be God, I would also think that his existence would be unmatched for our intellectual capacity, to get a grip of. Since he is the omnipotent and omniscient being, he would arrange this world in a way, that in spite of what we try to do, to arrive at the truth of the things, it would still be impossible for us to get a hold of it. This is what possesses the challenge too, probably, that you maintain faith in something that you can not see, or feel, and you entrust it with your morals, ethical beliefs, and in a way with your life, as well.  According to Guanilo’s counter argument, if there were to be a perfect island, greater than none which could be imagined, and it only existed as an idea in mind and in reality would be greater than one which existed only in the mind, then no island that could be imagined would be greater than the greatest island that exists in reality, and since we can not imagine one greater, this would warrant the island’s existence, which would be false. So with this argument, we can see that this kind of reasoning could be applied to anything, and therefore warrant its existence, as long as it is of great value, such that can not even be sought of, and the greatest version would only exist in reality, without us grasping and/or understanding the existence of it. After reading his argument, I could see how Anselm’s ideology could be rejected, or rebutted. It certainly makes Anslem’s ontological argument flawed, invalid and unsound. Therefore, his reasoning could not be used to prove the existence of the almighty.  In conclusion, the existence of God is an unwinnable argument. It is like a never-ending loop hole, that once you go down to, it gets harder to get to the truth. There will always be arguments justifying his existence, and then there will be counter arguments, questioning it. For instance, determinism – the term that suggests that all events, as well as human actions are predetermined, since the god is omniscient and omnipotent, so in that case can we really hold humans accountable for their actions, if they never had the freedom to make decisions in the first place? – Tamuna

Racial profiling is the routine and often unconscious practice by police and other enforcement agents

Racial profiling is the routine, and often unconscious, practice by police and other enforcement agents of targeting suspects on the basis of their race or ethnicity, religion, or other traits. For example, data from traffic stops in Missouri in 2007: Blacks were 78% more likely than whites to be searched. Hispanics were 118% more likely than whites to be searched. Submit an example of a situation depicting a case of racial profiling. It can be your own example or an example taken from a book, movie, newspaper, the news, or magazine. Briefly explain why you think the situation you are describing is a case of racial profiling.  200-300 words each. Follow either Chicago, MLA or APA manual of style  Times New Roman 12. Double space
