Why does Aristotle think that prophetic dreams are not sent by god?

Aristotle believed that prophetic dreams were not sent by a god because he did not see them as reliable sources of knowledge or wisdom. He thought that dreams were simply the result of a person's subconscious mind processing information and experiences, rather than divine intervention.


How did Rene descartes try and prove that god was real?

Descartes argued that the existence of God could be proven through his famous Ontological Argument, which posits that the idea of a perfect being must have originated from a perfect being himself. He believed that God's existence was necessary for all other knowledge claims to be valid, as doubts and deceptions would undermine the foundation of any knowledge without God. Ultimately, Descartes saw God as the guarantor of the truth and reliability of knowledge.


How does God's omniscience impact human free will?

God's omniscience, or all-knowing nature, means that God knows everything, including the choices humans will make. This can lead to the question of whether humans truly have free will if God already knows what choices they will make. Some believe that God's knowledge does not interfere with human free will, as humans still have the ability to make choices, even if God knows what those choices will be. Others believe that God's omniscience may limit human free will, as our choices may be predetermined by God's knowledge.


Did Descartes use God to establish the external world?

Descartes used the existence of God as a guarantor for the external world in his philosophical system. He argued that since God is perfectly good and would not deceive us, we can trust that our perceptions of the external world are accurate. This reliance on God as a foundation for knowledge is a key aspect of Descartes' epistemology.
