    BEING AS THE SOURCE OF ALL IDEAS ACCORDING TO ANTONIO ROSMINI
    (Tangaza University College, 2022-11-11) BUKWIMBA, BONIPHACE JOHN
    This long essay is about the role played by Rosmini’s idea of being as the source of all ideas. It will concentrate on how we derive several other concepts from the concept of being. Rosmini, a rationalist, will aid us in comprehending the notion of being the entrance to all concepts. The concept of being can be referred to as "truth" when it is seen as the representative of things insofar as they are known. In addition, this concept of being is known in ethics as the fundamental moral law and the basis for all moral judgments. This long essay is presented in four chapters, namely thesis design, the origin and nature of the idea of being, idea of being in relation to other ideas, and the possible application. Furthermore, each chapter has both an introduction and conclusion, also this paper contains a general conclusion, footnotes and sources of the material used. Chapter one talks about thesis design. In this chapter we shall introduce the work generally starting from the background, statement of the problem, research objectives, research questions, significance of the study, literature review, research methodology, theoretical framework, research findings and conclusion. The second chapter introduces us the philosophical meaning of the idea of being according to Rosmini. In this chapter we shall see the very nature and origin of the idea of being, we shall also see the life and works of Antonio Rosmini and the conclusion. The third chapter will discuss how truth, goodness, and justice relate to the concept of being. We shall also see how the concept of being is also called the first moral law in ethics. In the fourth chapter we shall explain the possible applications of the idea of being. In this chapter, we'll explore how the principle by which we know things changes when the concept of being is applied to them. The final chapter will be a summary, in which we shall discuss the significance of the notion of being, or the light of reason, as Rosmini refers to it, as the only means of understanding other notions. In this chapter we shall conclude that it is through the idea of being we know other ideas, that is through understanding the meaning of our existence we can come to the knowledge of other ideas. In summary, this paper is all about understanding the meaning of our existence, that in Rosmini’s understanding the concept of being or the light of reason is given to us at our conception therefore, we cannot think of anything without this idea, and hence reason should be at the center of our life.
