Description Readers' comments

In this essay, the author first reconstructs the goal setting and initial assumptions, starting from which the well-known reformist Catholic theologian Hans Küng strives in the tradition of the so-called «Physico-theological evidence» to argue in favor of the existence of God. At the same time, the key topic is the topic of fundamental trust in reality in relation to which the dilemma of worldview atheism or theism is formed. The author pays special attention to explaining the specific internal rationality of fundamental theistic trust in Küng’s interpretation. In further consideration, three possibilities of interpretation or reinterpretation of Küng’s central thesis are presented. Still, at the same time, certain deficits in his argumentation are pointed out – above all, the absence of the Christological dimension of the consideration. After rejecting in detail the criticism directed at this consideration from the position of J.L. Mackie’s neo-positivism, the author concludes that Küng’s concept reconstructed here deserves further reflection, a further explanation of his approach to establishing faith in God, which would include certain modifications in line with the current discussion.
