Abstract (EN)

The existence of God has been a significant matter of reflection and debate not only throughout the history of philosophy but also since the dawn of humanity. Various definitions of God and proofs for his existence have been put forth from ancient times to the present day. The main focus of this study is the arguments presented for the existence of God. These arguments are categorized into three main proofs: ontological, cosmological, and physico-theological. The primary objective of this work is to examine the criticisms directed by the eminent philosopher Immanuel Kant towards these arguments, which have left profound traces in the history of thought, while acknowledging their different perspectives and starting points. Kant's criticisms of the fundamental claims of classical arguments for the existence of God are not aimed at proving or disproving the existence of a God who created and influences the universe. Kant's aim is to demonstrate that the concept of God, which lacks an object in experience, cannot be proven a priori through the natural processes of human reason.
