Topic Scope And Freshness
Key Notes
model
Jiang proposes that Paul treats faith as passive belief in an already existing divine plan, whereas Dante treats faith as the underlying substance that moves the universe.
definition
The student synthesis Jiang affirms defines absolute will as active and world-making, because it finds or creates the path it needs, while contingent will stays reactive inside material constraints.
diagnosis
Jiang says stillness produces no profit, while conflict and blood in the streets create opportunities to make money.
