Reаd Entire Instructiоns Befоre Attempting: Write а shоrt essаy of 1-3 paragraphs (i.e. 50-150 words) in response to the question below the line. It must be a free-standing short essay, not a short answer. One good way to tell the difference is that a short essay makes sense without the question. It will be almost impossible to answer this question well in less than 50 words. You do not need to cite Feser or my lecture for this short essay. Remember Generative AI is not allowed and using it will result in no credit for the entire exam. A second use will result in failure for the course. In your own words, briefly explain the "Augustinian argument" and how and why it is fundamentally different from the other arguments considered in the text to this point. What makes those other arguments alike? What makes he Augustinian argument different? What is the starting point (fundamental premise) of the Augustinian argument? (Zero credit for discussing an argument other than Feser's.)
