PHI 121 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: John Stuart Mill, Theonomy
Bruno 1600
Theonomy - all science is shaped by God (theology)
Theosophy - shaped by what philosophers rest on; what theology says is the about what it
means to be human
Theocracy - Kings and divine authority all must be by them
For Theonomy and Theosophy : God centered thought is effectively dead
“If the Bible says…” then we don’t challenge this —> just how
“If the king say…“
THE POPE vs HENRY VII
“Moral” —> A.k.a. divorce (the last)
{ DESCARTES } CA 1636
“I think therefore I am”
—> infinite (not from me) GOD
&&
—> finite (from me) SINFUL
● Descartes did not anticipate the rise of the Bible
● Bible replaced God, the phrase “inspired word of God” gets a new meaning
● This resulted in the Protestant Reformation
● The Bible being the central idea of the universe (aka god and Jesus) human’s are next,
animals last
{ GALILEO }
- arrested for saying too much (like Bruno)
- Says “OK I’ll do when I’m told”
Consequences
● knowledge for the sake of knowledge
● This is a moral (neither moral or immoral)
“Anybody not see this, this is like really important“ - Falcon
—> there had been no improvement of people's lives… because of Christian fate
- if the pope said you didn’t do it, you didn’t do it
- Science had no guidance
- No pro abortion
- Commit euthanasia
