Leibniz later coined the term "principle of sufficient reason" and famously used it to argue for the existence of God. He proposed two arguments, the ontological argument, and the cosmological argument. In the latter, we find him using PSR to significant effect. He noted that every truth must...
Though mostly implicit, a large set of assumptions stem out of each of such root metaphors to form one'sWeltanschauung[world view]... Certainly, life will look very differently to a person whose metaphor is that of a ruthless, gladiatorial combat to the bitter end than to another who perc...
"[Michael] Reddy points out that theConduit Metaphoris not a specific expression; rather, it names the metaphoric assumptions that enable a range of common expressions such asgetting the message across, putting thoughts into words,andgetting a lot out of a text. . . . "Although the Conduit ...
is of no consequence to his philosophy The major assumption made in the ontological argument for the existence of God is that: a. one can find God by studying nature b. faith and reason are essentially the same process c....
The added value of such an ontological formalization is that it enables automatic reasoning for a knowledge base. However, while the decidability requirement ensures favorable computational properties, it drastically restricts the expressive power of OWL, which makes it unpractical to represent complex ...

Cartesians adopted an ontological dualism of two finite substances, mind (spirit or soul) and matter. The essence of mind is self-conscious thinking; the essence of matter is extension in three dimensions. God is a third, infinite substance, whose essence is necessary existence. God unites mind...
