ESSAY: Discuss the beliefs of three false philosophies and explain why each philosophy is wrong. How did the belief in this philosophies contribute to WWII? |
Charles Darwin puts man at the animal level and encourages the cruel survival of the fittest. It was called Darwinism and it caused some people to turn to psychology and not believe in the existence of a personal God. We know this is not true because the Bible places us above animals and that everything else on earth is for man to enjoy, not compete with.
Sigmund Freud thought man was produced by evolution and was just a highly developed animal. He formulated a system called psychoanalysis which puts the responsibility of man's actions on subconscious physical drives or irrational fears. He thought that man was not responsible for his actions and that you could blame your subconscious drives. This is wrong because the Bible tells us God mad man and we did not evolve from an animal. God also tells us we are responsible for our actions and when we do things bad and feel guilty we are to repent. August Comte formulated a form of empiricism, that he called positivism. It was the belief that nothing can be known except for observable scientific facts. He thought all knowledge was confined to only what humans senses could observe and anything else that was spiritual was ignored. According to him mankind or nature obeyed a superior will, like God. This is wrong because we know that God controls everything and we are supposed to obey His laws. |
