Vesnalui [34]3 years ago

Absolute Monarchy as a form of governance began in Europe after the end of feudalism mainly in 17th century. Absolute Monarchy simply means that the king is sole source of power and authority. He is above law or his word is itself a law.

European religious conflicts and decline of feudalism and origin of nation states were the reasons which lead to establishment of absolute monarchies in Europe. The people initially supported these absolute monarchs in order to bring peace and stability in the region.

The European Monarchs believed in Divine Rights of King i.e King is the representative of God on earth. We see the best example of absolute monarch in King Lious XIV which was fallowed by other European monarchs. He declared himself as Sun King i.e source of light for his subjects. He weakened the powers of nobility and made them to attend the court regularly, made all decisions of the government on his own, oversee religious affairs, levy taxes and declare war. He could take the advice of his ministers and secretaries but was not bound to their advice. It was the absolute monarchical system which made people to fight for a revolution in France and with French Revolution the absolute monarchical system began to decline Europe.

According to Descartes, who is responsible for finding out the truth?
gtnhenbr [62]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

According to Descartes, the responsible for finding out the truth was oneself and the mind when it states "I think therefore I am." French philosopher, Rene Descartes's approach to the truth had to first, express doubt.

Those responsible for finding the truth were supposed to complete this task by doubting first, questioning their own existence. Then, through the mind, the reason, confirm their existence because they had the capacity to think.

I think the truth cannot be found in one religion, such as Christianity, Catholicism, or many others, because those are dogmas developed by people through different eras. The truth depends on the perspective of every individual. There is no single truth in life that apply to all the people around the world. Diversity is the name of the game, and that is the reason why many religions exist to satisfy people's spiritual necessities. If we do not respect other people´s teachings, truths, and necessities, that is when problems arise.

trapecia [35]
If you eat at several Mexican restaurants and decide that Mexican food is hot, then you are technically using "inductive" reasoning, since this would be a "bottom to top" approach of reaching a conclusion.
