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.,
pleasure and pain) and the part that knowledge plays in bringing the happiness that should be the
goal of every individual. Epicurus (342-270 B.C.) maintained that the pursuit of pleasure was not
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.
