HOW IS GOD ADRESSED IN THE MIDDLE AGES?

I don´t really know the answer but im going to suppose.

First of all these stills a problems for so much people because if there is no a logical explanation of god, we can´t know where it is, or how to communicate with god thats why I think there are so much people that don´t belive in god.

But for believers in Middle Ages I think there are not so much options because the church is an institution that in those times completely ruled, almost all the people were believers of the Catholic church. The church is in charge to give some doctrins for make people believe and don´t do things that wont benefit them. They explained that god is everywhere (not phisically, but spiritually), but if you are in god´s side (the side that the church lead you to) you will reach all the good things and go to heaven, the kingdom of god, eden, etc. As there is of explanation of god and it could be very difficult to communicate with god because you can´t see him, so the way of communication, the languge with god will be always spiritually, in the case of the Middle Ages the church will stablished a way to communicate that is the prayer, this exists in the context of relationship with god, where the believer and god will have a spiritual contact. But also as a matter of control of the church you will be always in more contact with god in the church.

So they really couldn´t explain god, thats why it was a medieval problem. And I think they contacted god the way the church told them to contact him.

El niño predicador

Well, if we come from monkeys or not, i think that he seem like a disturbed monkey. I just can´t understand how people can believe or follow so much a kid like this. The reason why i think people believe him is because he is innovating, he is a kid that explains or say what that people want to hear, but in a way that is so enthusiastic and with a voice tone that you just can´t realize that comes from a kid with that age, it´s interesting to see a boy doing such a theather that they just can´t help paying attention, i guess going to the church it´s so boring that they just need this show, and also it´s so unusual to see a kid like this talking the way this kid talk, so people that eant to believe in things that he is saying say, why don´t believe in this kid, is unusual he must know the truth.
By other way he is trying to convince people that the don´t need to question about god, you should just believe in what church is saying to you to believe because it´s the truth, and he explains how stupid is the people who question this, i don´t know how con we let a kid like that dominate so much people and don´t let them question about anything because then thay will be the example that the kid is trying to insult. And this kind of acting make that big institutions own us, i think we have to begin to question ourselves in everything and also experiment with science things that we can´t know, because at least that way we could have a few valid arguments about what is and what is not. Or just don´t believe everything that people say to us, try to find your own answers too.

One explanation... eudaimonia...

Aristotle...

If we can't answer some quesions in life is very traditional that we try to respond those questions in myths trying to use fantasy in order to to fill that space of things that we don't know. By the other side Aristotle was a man who was worried of finding rational answers to everything that surrrounds us, so he talked about everything like sciences, methaphysics, physics, psicology, biology, math, arts, dialectics, geography, economy, justice, etc....

But there were three themes that he was more interested, these themes were;

Ethics, his ethic was that we all are in the search of eudaimonia that is the supreme good, and all the acts that the humans do are always in the search of finding a determinated good. So at the end goodnes is inside us.

The other point that he talked a lot about was Epistemology, konwledge, and Aristotle thought that only if you can think you are able to create something because this way you can question everything and determinate if something is justified or just invalid.

And also Aristotle was person who talked a lot about the reation of the citizen and the polis and he called this relation Politics, and politics for him should be developed in the best way in a polis, creating everything that is good in a polis because in a polis is where a citizen can adquire knowledge.

Aristotle was also a man who divided evrything in the world, he tried to organize everything that conforms the world the best way possible, and he thought that the best was to know if something is right its trough experimentation, and this way he let his legacy in the division of a lot of things that we learn now.
