Philosophy Existence Of God Questions
The argument from consciousness and intentionality as proof of the existence of God is a philosophical argument that suggests the existence of consciousness and intentionality in human beings cannot be adequately explained by naturalistic or materialistic explanations alone. Proponents of this argument argue that consciousness and intentionality are immaterial and non-physical aspects of human existence, and therefore require a transcendent and immaterial source, which they attribute to God. They contend that the complexity and purposefulness of human consciousness and intentionality point towards a higher intelligent being as their ultimate cause.
