Abstract

The article discusses the detailed review of Immanuel Kant's theses on existence of God. It presents the distinction which Kant proposes between real and logical predicates in support of his theses. It also presents the arguments of the author that modalities are categorically non-real predicates as part of Kant's theses as well as the suggestions that two different but related positive theses about what is existence may be found in Kant's main texts. It also offers the explanation of the author for Kant's claim that existential propositions are synthetic.
