Intro to PhilosophyDiscuss "Questions that Matter"Questions that Matter - Read Ch 3; Philosophy is about asking questions that matter. The question of God’s existence is the most important question dealt with in philosophy. The ontological, cosmological, and moral arguments are examples of arguments for God’s existence. The primary argument against God’s existence is the Problem of Evil. The question of knowledge (epistemology) is another question that matters. God made humans to know the world and equipped them with reason and experience as means to obtain knowledge. Philosophers tend to debate epistemology and divide into two main camps: those who believe that reason is the surest foundation for knowledge are called rationalists, and those who believe that experience is the surest foundation for knowledge are called empiricists. These divisions go all the way back to Plato (a rationalist) and Aristotle (an empiricist) and persist today. If God exists, then there are good answers to the Big Questions about human freedom and the meaning of life. If God does not exist, then it is difficult to avoid a loss of meaning (i.e., nihilism), knowledge (i.e. skepticism), morality (i.e., humanism), and just authority (i.e., anarchism or authoritarianism).
