Abstract
espanolEn este trabajo hago explicitas y analizo tres demostraciones de la existencia de Dios, implicitas en la meditacion sobre la nocion de verdad que se encuentra en los Soliloquios de San Agustin. La primera es a partir de la inteligibilidad de los seres. La segunda, a partir de las caracteristicas ontologicas de las esencias inteligibles. La tercera la propongo aqui tomando inspiracion de la aporia, que el autor analiza en el segundo libro de la mencionada obra, al intentar definir la verdad. La aporia emergente del analisis deriva de la observacion que no es posible definir el concepto de verdad sin relacion con un sujeto, pero tampoco es posible definirla con relacion a un sujeto meramente temporal y contingente. De ahi, argumento la necesidad de postular la existencia de un Sujeto necesario y absoluto, que permita cumplir la definicion de la verdad de un modo que no incurra en contradiccion. EnglishIn this work I make explicit and analyze three demonstrations of the existence of God, that are implicit in the meditation on the notion of Truth in Augustine’s Soliloquies. The first is from the intelligibility of beings. The second, from the ontological characteristics of intelligible essences. The third, which I propose, takes inspiration from the aporia that the author analyzes in the second book of the aforementioned work, when trying to define truth. The aporia emerging of the analysis is due to the observation that it is not possible to define the concept of truth without relation to a subject, but it is also not possible to define it in relation to a merely temporal and contingent subject. Hence, I argue the need to postulate the existence of a necessary and absolute Subject, which allows the definition of truth in a way that does not incur contradiction.
