PLS1501 Assignment 2 (COMPLETE GUIDELINE) Semester 1 2025 - DUE April 2025; 100% TRUSTED Complete, trusted solutions and explanations. For assistance, Whats-App 0.6.7-1.7.1-1.7.3.9. Ensure your success with us.... OPTION A Aristotle, in contrast to Plato, offered a distinct perspective on the nature of knowledge and how we acquire it. In an essay, critically discuss Aristotle's approach to understanding the world, focussing on his concepts of particulars and universals. 3 OPTION B Thomas Aquinas presented five arguments (the 'Five Ways') for the existence of God. These are discussed in Study Unit 3 of your Study Guide. For this essay, you are to select and critically analyse the two arguments you find the strongest and most convincing. Guidelines for answering option B: 1. Clearly identify and explain the two arguments that you have selected. Provide a detailed explanation of each argument, ensuring that you accurately represent Aquinas' reasoning. 2. Clearly and comprehensively explain why you consider these two arguments to be the strongest and most convincing. What specific aspects of these arguments resonate with you philosophically? 3. Provide a robust philosophical defense of your chosen arguments. In other words, critically discuss the chosen arguments by considering their strengths and objections that could be levelled against them. This should include: i. Analysing the premises of each argument. ii. Addressing potential objections or counterarguments to your chosen arguments. 4. Remember, this essay is not an opinion piece, it is an academic philosophical essay. Therefore, you must draw from the Study Guide and further research. You cannot simply state your own opinion without providing evidence to support your claims. 5. Ensure that you have references in the body of your essay as well as at the end of your essay (bibliography).
