How is the Principle of Sufficient Reason (PSR) used by the advocate of the Cosmological Argument to justify the two premises of the argument? Make sure to clearly define dependent and self-existent beings, and also to explain the two parts of PSR and how each part is used to justify a different premise of the argument.
The Principle of Sufficient Reason as developed by theorists and philosophers points out that for every event, existence, occurrence, if that event or occurrence took place and is real, they there must be a reason and proof for that occurrence to be real. More precisely, the theory appeals to the need to explain and justify different events in history that in fact took place and therefore there must be sufficient explanation for why such an event or logic took place or is real.
This belief has been widely used in connection to different other arguments, among which the Cosmological Argument that comes as a result of a demand for an explanation to the creation of the Universe. Therefore, given the logic of the Principle of Sufficient Reason, the statement of the Cosmological Argument is that seeing the Universe exists, there must be sufficient reason for why this exists.

In the ancient world, happiness referred to the belief in higher powers and in the power of the character, virtue and "mean." The "mean" plays a key role in Aristotle's theory because it represents the connection between different elements of virtue, character and the ability to be moderated in their expression. More precisely, Aristotle considers the measure of things to be extremely important because it can make the difference between states of mind such as being coward and reckless. An example in this sense can be that of a soldier that in order to show courage must exercise a lot of self restrain and control over his prevailing emotions that are instinctual such as fear in the face of danger. Therefore, in order to achieve a certain state of mind, it is important to control the…
