Forgiveness is a theological theme that resided with me while reading Nadia Boltz- Weber’s book, and I see it now more than ever in my past. Chapter 7 in the book shows how she forgives her friend Candace for relapsing and taking up her time, and how she also forgives herself for letting Candace’s friendship go so that Nadia could move on with her life in a positive way.

Kant (1962), on the other hand, felt the theories, facts, and methods scientists were compiling were neither historically organized nor were the scientists of a specific field, being educated in a rigorous and rigid manner. Kant believed that normal science problems did not lead to new findings, rather it was addressing only the theoretical side of science (Hacking, 2012) whereby research data was being made to fit in with the existing knowledge.

Socrates was a great philosopher of the Greek world. He was quite an atypical and distinctive person. Being different from all the other philosophers of the land, Socrates was teaching his students ideas totally out of the ordinary from what the society believed was right.
