15-20 sentences each.
\nExplain the main tenets of both dualism and hylomorphism, stressing especially the tensions that Jensen finds in the dualist position.<\/p>\n
A triangle is a three-sided figure. This is an instance of universal knowledge. Why is it not possible to imagine such a figure (i.e. to imagine merely its three-sidedness)?<\/p>\n

Aquinas argues that reason can help control the emotions in three ways. Briefly describe each way, providing your own concrete examples.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When talking about the object of the will, what does Aquinas mean by \u2018the overall good\u2019 and \u2018the good as known by reason\u2019? What does that term mean? What does it not mean? Use examples, where necessary.<\/p>\n

Aquinas says a great deal about the human person, but Jensen\u2019s account, drawing on Aquinas, focuses just on the powers of the human person: sensation, the internal senses, reason, emotions, and the will.

(E.g. what truths can we arrive at just by natural reason, apart from religious revelation?)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Briefly discuss three views of human freedom, providing basic arguments in favor of each. Additionally, provide a description of the \u2018agency view\u2019, and try to depict sympathetically why Jensen prefers this view to the others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
