  Article:   THE EPISTEMOLOGICAL CRITERIA OF ″EXISTENCE" IN THEOLOGY EXAMPLES FROM THE SCRIPTURES.

Authors:  MARCEL BODEA. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  This article is primarily an approach to the theological argument from a philosophical and analytical perspective of language. Traditionally and historically, the ontological argument is a logical argument in demonstrating the existence of God. This article emphasizes, on the level of language, a version of theological argument based on mathematical rationality. The nucleus of this paper is given by the relationship between the ontological argument, mathematics and the problem of existence, with new discussions in analytical philosophy and analytical theology. Beyond strictly the ″existence″ of God, the paper also takes into account the existence of certain theological contents, certain theological attributes, starting not so much from logic, but mathematics. Also, a specific objective of this paper is a comparative presentation of two epistemological problems from the points of view of science and theology: ″the epistemological criteria of existence″.

Keywords: analytical theology; ontological argument; attribute of existence; criteria of existence; empirical evidence; reason; faith; truth; scientific meaning; theological meaning
