God, Art, and Other Random Thoughts. A Collection of Philosophical Essays and Musings

      Аннотация: At one time or another, every human being has pondered their existence and place within the universe. Some have expressed their thoughts in various mediums from prose to art. Conversations and contentious debates have continued through the centuries regarding philosophical questions whose answers will help us define what it means to be human and give meaning and purpose to the human experience. Included in these pages are a series of essays pertaining to God's existence, the problem of evil, originality and authenticity as they relate to works of art, and other philosophical questions. The subject matter is far from objective, but it allows one to ponder their own existence upon this planet. By no means does anything written on these pages pretend to be an absolute truth or definitive answer. Rather, these are some of my early thoughts about philosophy, religion, art, and the human experience as they developed in my undergraduate education.
