Read this excerpt from G. K. Chesterton's "The Permanent Philosophy." Then, explain how St. Thomas Aquinas reconciles faith and

reason based on this excerpt. Your answer should be at least 150 words.
{St. Thomas says, quite straightforwardly, that he himself believes this world has a beginning and end; because such seems to be the teaching of the Church; the validity of which mystical message to mankind he defends elsewhere with dozens of quite different arguments. ....But Aquinas says he sees no particular reason, in reason, why this world should not be a world without end; or even without beginning. And he is quite certain that, if it were entirely without end or beginning, there would still be exactly the same logical need of a Creator. Anybody who does not see that, he gently implies, does not really understand what is meant by a Creator. ("The Permanent Philosophy"; p. 9)

<span>Aquinas is making the "unknown" argument. When "...he sees no particular reason, in reason, why this should not be a world without end" (The permanent philosophy 9). With this statement he is outlining that based on human reason, the idea that the world has an end cannot be logically disproven. This is known as a "begging the question" fallacy. As a result he is reconciling faith by showing logic cannot disprove it. Although, he is not proving anything either.</span>

How does the use of the word transformed support the claim in this passage?
Lera25 [3.4K]

From the 1750s on, sugar transformed how Europeans ate. Chefs who served the wealthy began to divide meals up. Where sugar had previously been used either as a decoration (as in the wedding feast) or as a spice to flavor all courses, now it was removed from recipes for meat, fish, and vegetables and given its own place—in desserts. Dessert as the extremely sweet end to the meal was invented because so much sugar was available. But the wealthy were not the only ones whose meals were changing. Sugar became a food, a necessity, and the foundation of the diet for England's poorest workers.

It indicates that the addition of sugar was a significant change to Europeans' diets.

Answer: Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the paragraph that has been shown above, the way the Europeans ate in the 1750s and the change in their way of eating has been talked about. It shows that there has been addition of sugar in their diet.

Earlier sugar was only used as a way of decoration or as a spice to flavor up all the courses. But later the intake of sugar increased a lot in the diet of the Europeans and it became a necessity, it became a food.
