A crítica dos argumentos filosóficos a favor da existência de Deus e sua superação na filosofia da religião de Paul Tillich

Abstract

I intend to present and discuss, in this short essay, the criticism of Paul Tillich to the tradicional philosophical arguments (or “evidences”) in favour of the existence of God. I will search first the kantian roots of this criticism, which Tillich resumes terminology. Then I will present the vision of Tillich, that will include a critique of Kantian position and advances achieved by Tillich in relation to Kant, from the perspective of an existential ontology and an ontological reason. In closing remarks, I will show briefly how the reflection of Kant conditions both the vision of Tillich as the position of “post-modern” philosophers such as Jacques Derrida and Jean-Luc Nancy.
