    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Aquinas held that sin disorders the intellect such that persistent unrepented sin progressively corrupts rational faculty toward its terminus.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A completed, eternal state of sin—as Hell represents—logically entails the terminal endpoint of that cognitive corruption, not a partial degree.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The eternal fixity of Hell (as defended by Anselm's infinite consequence doctrine) means no partial cognitive state persists; only the final, complete condition obtains.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason for 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Augustine's deprivation theory holds that evil is the absence of good, and Hell represents maximal privation of the goods constitutive of rational personhood.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Cognitive capability is a primary good of rational nature, so maximal privation in Hell entails its complete, not partial, loss.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
