A Critical Examination on the Religious Argument for God's Existence: Concerning Palmquist's Analysis

one is back ever further ad infinitum in the series of subjective determining bases. (Rel., 6:25) In this article, I critically examine the religious argument for the existence of God, which Palmquist formulated from Kant’s Religion within the Bounds of Bare Reason. After showing the structure of the argument, I point the problematic point of the argument and focus on the concept of Gesinnung. The privateness of Gesinnung is problematized in the analysis of it, and I briefly suggest that an alternative account of the Gesinnung is possible. Yet I emphasize the advantage that this argument has compared to other competing arguments.
