As time passed, people began to see their relation with God in a new light. The fatalism of Puppeteer God gave way to a new sense of personal responsibility, and God came to be seen as a friend and a father –a father of adult children. People now meet God as adult and see their relation as such, thus, Jesus uses human fatherhood as an analogy for our mature relationship to God. God is still involve in history. He is not a watchmaker who fashions things and leave them to their own device and to the natural laws of their being. Though His personal involvement remains mysterious and obscure yet it leaves room for human freedom and it is manifest through human agents who can distort and confuse his message in the …show more content…

They doubt whether the study of philosophy is anything useful if not a useless trifling, arguments and counter arguments of controversies upon issues that may never put food on the table. But philosophy is more than that, a philosopher recognizes and is puzzled by problems that others barely take notice of. He/she is not satisfied with the fact of things, but is more interested in the reason for the fact itself. He/she knows the right thing to do, but asks question why the right thing must be done, and by the way, is the right thing the same thing as the

In both “Paul’s Case” and Bartleby, the Scrivener, although Paul and Bartleby are both presented as powerless people in their communities, they are also the people who resist the majority the hardest in order to remain true to themselves. Unfortunately, they both die at the end. While their resistance makes them the tragic characters in their stories, it also makes them heroic to the readers because their resistance is what we inwardly desire to attain in our reality. It is difficult for Paul and Bartleby to successfully resist their communities stance because they are both socially weak -- they are both insignificant people who have low status in the social structure and their desires to follow their instincts and resist are always being

Good afternoon to all the deceased historical figures in the room. Before starting I would like to thank Cortez for financing our luncheon, the Medici family for taking care of our finances for this meeting, and Louis XVI for providing such a lavish meal with what is left of France’s money. As a side not if you happen to be beheaded we have super glue in the back. We would like to prevent the saying “heads will roll” from becoming true again. Also, we would like to avoid the debate on Napoleon’s height, which seems to come up during every meeting.

However, philosophy does not always have the right answer; which makes people avoid the concept of philosophy. A true philosopher would relish the challenge of debating their beliefs. He or she would state that philosophy has created the sciences (Russel, 14). No natural science would have been made possible if there was not someone questioning an event.

To study philosophy is to learn to think carefully and critically about complex issues. It is not necessarily to learn the 'answers ' that the discipline has arrived at.” (Sideritis 1.1) to the ideas expounded by the Buddha in the Kalama Sutta: “So in this case, Kalamas, don 't go by reports, by legends, by traditions, by scripture, by logical conjecture, by inference, by analogies, by agreement through pondering views, by probability, or by the thought, 'This contemplative is our teacher. '” This comparison should give us clarity about the Buddhist attitude towards what we can broadly label ‘philosophy’.

“Fides ET ratio” which was written in 1998 by Pope St. John Paul the II to all the bishops to demonstrate the relationship between faith and reason. Pope St. John Paul the II wrote the encyclical to support and at the same time help the old Christian philosophy. "Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth; and God has placed in the human heart the desire to know the truth — in a word, to know himself — so that by knowing and loving God, men and women can come to the fullness of the truth about themselves" (n. 1) With that sentence Pope St. John Paul the II begins the encyclical, Fides et Ratio. Pope St. John Paul II believed that faith and reason has a lot of interconnection to help
