Enlightenment's Effect on Theology
[ send me this essay ]
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.

Epicurus' Observation
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. Death, an entity greatly feared and misunderstood by humankind, is the representation of the end of life. Epicurus, however, took a decidedly different approach to one's mortality, postulating that death – in all its ominous form – is truly nothing to one's existence. Indeed, death does represent the end of a particular period of time where one inhabits one's mortal body, yet according to Epicurus it also represents rebirth and a time for rejuvenation. The connection that exists between life and death is often viewed as quite segmented, with one having little to do with the other. Epicurus was determined to bridge this ever-widening gap by demonstrating how death is not only a significant and very important part of life, but that it in no way detracts from one's time spent as a mortal being. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
