God as a subject of Philosophy. The perspective of the Philosophy of Religion

Abstract:

Philosophy has the task of rationally searching for the truth about the whole of reality. In this search, God emerges as theme principally in two fields, directly in natural theology which is the reflection on God in the light of natural reason, and indirectly in philosophy of religion insofar as God is the object of man’s religious experience. Focusing on philosophy of religion, this essay sheds some light on the main currents of thought in contemporary philosophy of religion, elucidates the meaning of religion, and reflects on God as the object of man’s religious experience and on how man subjectively experiences the divine.

Key words:

God, Man, Philosophy, Religion.
