Mccloskey\'s Refutation of the Arguments of Existence
. A religious individual may, and indeed does, see the world and circumstances form a variant manner to that of McCloskey's. The religious man's assertion bears no hard weight since it is not empirical. But then neither does that of McCloskey's. In the end both are dealing with a metaphysical issue. And that, as Wittgenstein (Ayer, 1989) stated is a different game to that of the physical, scientific realm.

Will Theory and Inalienable Rights
Although America's founding documents declared unequivocally "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness," the signing of the Declaration of Independence did nothing more to end the debate over rights, power, and liberty than did the discourses of Immanuel Kant, Thomas Hobbes, and John Locke. The notion of inalienable rights is rooted in Hobbesian theory, after Hobbes wrote in his Leviathan that "to use his own power, as he will himself, for the preservation of his own Nature; that is to say, of his own Life; and consequently, of doing anything, which in his own judgment, and Reason, he shall conceive to be the (most) apt means thereunto," thus offering philosophy's most basic elucidation of the concept of inalienable rights. Western philosophy has always focused the attention of its greatest thinkers on the concept of natural versus legal rights, with the former representing life, liberty, and those ostensibly inalienable rights granted to all people regardless of culture or custom, and the latter consisting of the rights bestowed upon citizens by the legal apparatus of their government.
