Journal Title: Dini Araştırmalar -Altı Aylık Bilimsel Dergi- - Year 2015, Vol 18, Issue 46
Abstract
Our chief aim in this article is to try to understand the God perspective of Boethius which has lived through a very early period at the Christian thought, under the light of the role which has been attritubuted to God and at the same time, especially to inform how the problem was solved that has appeared about the roles like God knows everything. Again, we will try to understand has he commented on the teleologic proof, which is among one of the most believed proofs as the proof of God’s existance. The reason we choose Boethius is that, there are so limited studies, especially studies on philosophy of religion, has been done about such on outstanding philosopher in our country and in addition to this again his affect on considerable characters that has follewed him in Christian philosophy and theological tradition. I think it is important to put forward how he understood some of the chief understandings about philosophy of religion, considering the period which he had lived in and had affected outstanding Christian thinkers like Anselm and Aquinas that have lived before Boethius
