Question

This thinker rejected ethics as conformity to law by refuting an early version of Pascal’s Wager called the “Slave’s Wager.” A thought experiment in which one man wants to build a house for the poor but lacks the means while another has the desire and the means demonstrates this thinker’s intention-based ethics. (-5[1])This thinker argued that no real object can satisfy Boethius’s (“bo-EE-thee-uss’s”) criteria, and therefore ontological realism about (-5[1])(*) universals is incoherent. (-5[1])The questions of whether faith must be completed by (10[1])reason and whether faith (-5[1])only deals with (-5[1])things unseen is explored in one book by this thinker. (-5[1])That book (-5[1])presents and resolves apparently (-5[1])contradictory (10[1])theological (10[1])statements (10[1])from (-5[1])church fathers. (-5[1])For 10 points, (10[1]-5[1])name this scholastic (-5[1])philosopher (-5[2])who wrote (10[1])Sic et Non, (10[10]-5[3])Héloïse’s (10[1]-5[2])(“ay-loh-EEZ’s”) lover. (10[4])■END■ (10[13]0[11])
