Writing Homework Help

I’m working on a philosophy discussion question and need support to help me study.

Question 1:

Let us suppose, for the sake of argument, that “God Proofs” do not work to establish God’s existence.

Does this matter? Logically it does not follow that God does not exist, but only that a specific line of reasoning is faulty or flawed in some way. Shouldn’t “faith” or a non-rational element be just as important as a purely rational demonstration (which is like a math proof in a void)?

Many folks are religious and do not care about proofs. On the other hand, some nonreligious types, like Bertrand Russell, care a great deal about logic proofs.

Question 2:

Albert Camus is one of the most iconic figures within Existential philosophy (even though he refused the title and said he was NOT an existentialist).

His portrait of The Myth of Sisyphus is thought to be the creme de la creme example of the human condition conceptualized as “absurd.” Does this myth strike you as an absolutely perfect example of absurdity, as it does Richard Taylor? Is the film Woman in the Dunes just as good of an example? If a better example of the absurd comes to your mind, express that view.

(Note: The instructor thinks that Samuel Beckett’s play “Endgame” is among the best examples of utter absurdity.)

Question 3:

Sartre’s notion of “Radical Freedom” leads him to the view that human persons have no essence and no “stable” self / identity. According to Sartre, a person change devise a new identity, instantaneously, by simply making a choice.

Does this view strike you as compelling? Do you think that it is true?
