Consider the ways in which you can relate the thinking of Aquinas, Anselm, and Pascal to the various different Reformation movements. Be specific in your comparisions and consider using the thoughts of various other thinkers we have explored as well (Augustine, the Pre-Socratics, the Hellenistic Philosophers all work). Ultimately, in your estimation, what were these reformers trying to "do" as it relates to the quest to understanding both human nature and human origin?

Respuesta :

The comparison of the three philosophers - Aquina, Anslem, and Pascal is summarized below.

What are the summaries of the thoughts of the above-named philosophers?


Thomas Aquinas - Nature was created on purpose. Nature is driven by laws. These laws can be discovered and understood by man.

Saint Anslem - Humans are not just rational and mortal. Humans must also use their rationality and humanity to create something that is beyond their rational and mortal existence.

Blaise Pascal - Humanity is morally wretched.

It can be inferred that the three writers above are trying to point to the existence of a higher meaning, a higher purpose, and therefore the existence of a creator.
