Jake Allen Weekly response paper – Hobbes 31 – 43 In chapter 31 Hobbes talks about the fact the god is all-powerful and that man should not defy him because he is their creator and they owe him gratitude for this. “The right of nature whereby God reigneth over men, and punishes those that break his laws, is to be derived, not from His creating them, as if He required obedience as of gratitude for His benefits, but from His irresistible power.” In my opinion this fact is hard to believe

of that sort is mingled with our souls, we shall never fully gain what we desire; and that is truth. For the body is forever taking up our time with the care which it needs; and, besides, whenever diseases attack it, they hinder us in our pursuit of real being.

and it works beautifully! The business of news-making - and it is most certainly a business – has two key components nowadays: to influence and to sell.

Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake 400 years ago. He was tied up, as they gathered wood at his feet. Some report that he was wearing a shawl with daemons emblazed on it, and others say that he was stripped. The reason he was burned was his heresy and his refusal to conform to the Vatican's will.

rationalism but your senses that tell us the truth about knowledge. Philosophy could be something no one, not even philosophers, could actually agree on how to view life.
