About the eBook

This book undoubtedly bears a problematic title, which would not have caused confusion were it not for the widespread confusion among people between the concepts of existence and being. While the former refers to everything that truly and absolutely exists, the notion of being calls us to investigate the ways and causes of the temporal occurrence of creation and the beginning of creation. Furthermore, on the semantic level, we can discern traces of a vast gulf separating what exists absolutely from what is a specific being: existence exists, and must exist, and there is absolutely no trace of nothingness in it, as Descartes says, and as Parmenides explained before him in his Fragments. Therefore, pure existence is the property of the absolute being, which necessarily precedes all forms in the process of creation and existence, drawn together by a duality whose two extremes are creation and the surrounding not-yet-to-be. Hence, the search for the existence of God (the absolute) or His non-existence is a blatant fallacy that is rejected by the discerning understanding of every rational mind, and by anyone who reflects deeply on their conscience and in accordance with a logical understanding that does not accept deviation from the weight of the presence of existence. Anyone who delves deeply into this matter will be convinced that the transcendence of the Great Truth exists in isolation from any effort expended by consciousness to approach His kingdom. We will find in the ontological argument (l'argument ontologique) devised by Boèce (third century) and elaborated by Anselm of Canterbury (eleventh century), and then with Descartes and Kurt Gödel's theorem of mathematical incompleteness, what brings us closer to contemplating this momentous matter, which has undoubtedly come to represent the greatest challenge to the philosophical mind. God's existence is paradoxical, transcending any doubt some may have about it, and defying all concepts, arguments, and thought processes. Meanwhile, the brilliance of knowledge methods, or even the shortcomings of their theories, will not change the reality of God's existence and His transcendence. Conversely, the skill of those knowledge methods and the brilliance of their theories can push awareness toward adopting, or even abandoning, the paths of certainty.
