The Absolute: A Philosophical Showdown

This excerpt from Elijah Benamozegh's "Dogmatic Theology and Apologetics" (1877) explores fundamental philosophical and theological arguments for God's existence. The text systematically examines various proofs, including the historical, ontological, logical, moral, and aesthetic arguments, drawing extensively from Jewish Kabbalah, Neoplatonism, and numerous Western philosophers like Descartes, Kant, and Hegel. Benamozegh critically engages with concepts such as materialism, atheism, and the nature of infinity, asserting that the human capacity for religious thought and the inherent order of the universe point toward a transcendent, infinite, and perfect divine being. Ultimately, the author aims to demonstrate that religious faith aligns with reason and universal truths, countering skeptical and materialist viewpoints.
