Zdroworozsądkowe a filozoficzne poznanie atrybutów Boga

Abstract

The problem considered in this article concerns the relationship between the pre-scientific and philosophical knowledge of God’s attributes. The paper argues that although common sense does not experience omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence directly in the world, it nevertheless attributes them to God. Common sense, however, cannot justify their attribution to God. The problem of justification arising from a pre-scientific cognition is dealt with, among others, by philosophers. On the one hand, this confirms the idea that philosophy corrects and complements pre-scientific cognition. On the other hand, however, it is argued that pre-scientific knowledge is sufficient to recognise and get acquainted with God’s attributes.
