PROJECT OVERVIEW 2016.docx
The course project requires you to research and write an analytical paper comparing and contrasting the political views of two philosophers on one of the following areas:
Human Conflict - the nature and causes thereof.
The best or best possible cooperative social arrangements, capable of resolving or diminishing society's common problems.
The moral foundations of political legitimacy (what is the good state).
Who should govern - one, few, or many?
Within your paper discuss how the views of your two chosen philosophers on the one chosen political issue relate to that same political issue today. Share your own well-supported views on the matter in a conclusion.
PART 1 2016.docx
Saint Augustine and Aquinas are both famously known for their philosophical and theological explorations. St. Augustine took a platonic route believing that there was a need to use reason so as to illuminate the Christina faith. He believed that faith was superior to reason. On the other hand, Aquinas did not make a clear distinction between faith and God. Hence his view of the relationship between government and religion would be different (Healy, 2014).
