An Argument for the Existence of God from the Human Person

Abstract

In theology the so-called arguments for the existence of God had a reistic character until modern times; they were based on such elements of reality as the universe or nature. In the present times anthropological arguments have been added: ones based on the mind, logic, language, will, acts and religiosity, but they also have a reistic character. Now it is time for integration and consolidation of anthropological arguments by constructing an argument from the whole phenomenon of the human person, both an individual and social one; from his existence, nature, self, and the highest existential perfection. Such an approach leads to the discovery that the whole personal world of man calls for a personal Supreme Being as the only ultimate meaning of man himself and of the whole reality.
