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. Moreover, this existence being declared and agreed must have a clear cause. The PSR can be used to interpret this need for a cause by the fact that once the existence of the Universe is accepted (and it is as it represents the reality of everyday life), then there must be (according to the PSR) sufficient reason to consider its existence; at the same time, given that the Universe exists when it could have very well not existed provides the triggering point for looking for a cause that...
