Important Philosophical Ideas

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses three ideas that the author believes are important in philosophy: The problem of evil; the inductive method of reasoning; and Thomas Hobbes' ideas on the nature of man. The paper shows the significance of these three ideas, and also explains the influence they have had on the author.

From the Paper:

"I chose the problem of evil because it is a key problem for all religions. The problem of evil points out that if God is all-powerful and all-good, then evil should not exist in the world. But evil does exist, and this could cause us to conclude that God does not exist, or God is not all-good, or God is not all-powerful."
