Problem

1.We have tried to address two major questions of Humanities: what does it mean to be human? And what does it mean to live a life of meaning and purpose? In the first paragraph, reflect on one of the cultural periods we have looked at (ancient 1. Hebrew, Greek, Roman, Medieval Europe) and tell me how you think this culture addresses what it means to be human. In your second paragraph, tell me how you think that this culture has contributed to or influenced what it means to be human and live a life of meaning for you, a person living in 2015.

2. Explain how the Hebrew notion of free will in the Book of Genesis is different from the Greek notion in Oedipus the King. Is there anything that the Bible and Oedipus the King share concerning Fate or Destiny? (Remember that Sophocles' universe in Oedipus the King is fixed; everyone has a fate that cannot be circumvented -- but this does NOT mean that people cannot make choices while they live.) Which perspective on free will and fate do you subscribe to more, and why?

3. In three or four sentence, explain to me at least two of the "Five Ways" that Aquinas claims prove the existence of God.
