Assertiveness

This article contains the explanation of different points of view: Hare’s theory about the bliks and the statement of Flew about assertions. Hare declares that Flew chooses for attack is to regard this type of talk as some kind of explanation. Hare, in his term, protects his point of view as for the bliks. He sticks to the point that without a blik people can not explain some events in their life and what is going on in the world. Hare is sure that not everything can be explained, as it is our bliks, and only a person herself can decide what can be explained. As the example he says that everything may happen by the chance. He says that it is not an obvious assertion, as it may happen or not happen. There is no need to assert something only because somebody is trying to deny it. It goes from this, that Hare’s opinion completely differs from Flew’s one, that if somebody asserts something there must be other person who denies it. Hare says that people should not be able to foresee, to explain or to plan anything, because in other case they will be like those people who are asserting anything. He states that those very bliks are strong beliefs in the person’s mind and they do not need explanation or approving.

It is well-known that people are different and they have different points of view on this or that situation. It is one’s own business what belief to choose or how to act in different situations. Hare says, that giving the theory of bliks, he tries to show some sort of difference between those people who really believe in God, appreciate him, trying to find His presence in every situation and asking for His help, and people who does not believe in Him.
