Meta-theology is the study of the very possibility to prove God&#8217;s existence and of whether belief in God is a matter of rational thinking or an issue that must be left to faith. Thus, the lively discussion on G\u00f6del\u2019s ontological argument belongs to theology, while Kant&#8217;s attempt in the <em>Critique of Pure Reason<\/em> (CPR) to disprove all possible proofs for the existence of God belongs to meta-theology. In the talk, I wish to explore the possible application of G\u00f6del\u2019s Second Theorem (GST) to meta-theology. After showing why there is <em>prima facie<\/em> evidence for the relevance of GST to meta-theology, I argue that in one sense &#8211; which is to be clearly defined below &#8211; it is pointless to try to prove that God&#8217;s existence is unprovable. As it turns out, this conclusion is not confined to the existence of God and can be generalized to other claims of proving unprovability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meir Buzaglo Hebrew University of Jerusalem On Proving the Unprovability of God&#8217;s Existence 1 March 2019, 15:45 Faculdade de Letras de Lisboa Sala Mattos Rom\u00e3o (Departamento de Filosofia) Abstract: In my talk I use &#8220;theology&#8221; in a narrow sense, i.e., the analysis of proofs for the existence of God.
