Enlightenment's Effect on Theology
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing the role of the Enlightenment and the philosophy of Immanuel Kant in the shaping of modern theology. Kant observed, "If we are asked, 'Do we now live in an enlightened age?' the answer is, 'No, but we do live in an age of enlightenment.'" Kant provided a framework within which individuals are able to hold to faith in God and grow in autonomy and personal responsibility while yet relying on God to direct their lives. Pre-Enlightenment theology kept the individual from the throne in the same way that the curtain separated individuals from the Most Holy Place of the tabernacle. The Enlightenment – aided by Kant's philosophy – tore away the curtain that men had replaced long after Jesus' death. Modern theology can make the way clear, but it is still left to individuals to choose to travel the path. Bibliography lists 15 sources in 25 footnotes.

Epicurean Ethics
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the Epicurean view of good and evil (i.e.,

that which could be procured through physical enjoyments, but rather through contemplation.
Therefore knowledge can only contribute to the happy life, for increased knowledge can bring
increased assurance that the Epicurean way is the true one. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Ethics And Faith
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Kierkegaard took issue with Hegel's theory of faith and ethics, which proved to spark one of the most profound of history's philosophical debates. In exact opposition to this theory, Kierkegaard attacks Hegel's presumptuous attitude that humanity can, in fact, consider itself a superior entity over that of God's existence. Perhaps Kierkegaard was more astounded by Hegel's sheer audacity to assert that God's superiority was only as significant as when it existed in the concept of faith, as opposed to the outright condemnation of such a theory. Regardless of his motivation, Kierkegaard regarded Hegel's
philosophy of faith and ethics to be truly erroneous, which he unabashedly addressed in his book entitled "Fear and Trembling." No additional sources cited.

Fallibilist Foundationalism: Valid Epistemological Point Of View
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. The philosophical quest to determine how and why man understands himself and the world around him has been explored from myriad perspectives, with two primary components serving as common denominators for any potentially unified answer: Man's beliefs are either perceptional or inferential in nature. When examining the extent to which fallibilist foundationalism can be considered a valid epistemological point of view, one can readily attribute the element of perception to its validity.
