In Antiquity,
the Greeks identify nature * (Phusis) with the being *,
by seeing in it a great Reason (Logos)
leading to an order (Cosmos).

The Middle Ages, identify to him to be it with God. Certain thinkers asHeidegger estimate that it is there "the bad destiny to be it". Because, they, all say to bring back to a called Cause first God, to explain the world, it is to claim to say the last word of reality and, consequently, to kill the thought.
In short, one kills the mystery while posing that only God created the world.
Others, as Pascal (1623-1662) estimate, them, than God has nothing to do with philosophy.
See in him a Cause first, it is to be useful itself of him like instrument, in order to make the mechanic launching of it the movement of nature, whereas it is infinitely more.

You said chance?

Without denying these objections, a certain number of philosophers tried to establish that God is a relevant concept in philosophy.
Initially, they underlined, it is not at all absurd to pose God as Cause first. The absurdity is rather to think that the creation of the world was done by accident.
Thus, acting of the reason, Plato (428-348 front. J.-C.) show that if the exercise of this one raises only of itself, on the other hand, the fact that there is reason is not without reason.
Because the accuracy which regulates the mathematical reports/ratios is the sign of a justice and a supreme Good.
If the mathematical truths are what they are, it is because there is a supreme good which wanted that they are thus and not differently.
As for the world, can one consider that this one was done all alone?
Not answers holyThomas d' Aquin(1228-1274).
If it were the case, the world would be God and there would be no imperfections in him. However, the world being imperfect, force are to note that he is not God, and thus whom he could not be made all alone.
Is it then the product of the chance?
Not, rétorque still holy Thomas.
Because, a such universe equipped with conscience through the man, could it have been born from purely accidental causes?
Lastly, acting of the man, is it true that it is alone in the world and that God is only one pure fabrication intended to reassure it while filling the holes of his ignorance?
Not, holy Anselme( 1033-1109) answers, because idea-of God could not invent itself.
Moreover, known as Descartes (1596-1650), we just like know that God exists, our desire which aspires to happiness knows that happiness exists without ever to have seen it.

For Hegel (1770-183 1), it is not scandalous of saying that God and philosophy is dependent. Far from being irrational, God wants on the contrary the reason.
Also Hermann Cohen (1842-1918) will support it that God was always philosophical God. Moreover, negative theology (see text on the left) A certainly shows that God being infinite, "one knows it not to know it"; it does not remain about it less than by developing the vacuum and silence in order to reach God, negative theology indicates that there are knowledge-limites which is knowledge nevertheless. As well it is true as a silence speaks sometimes more than a speech and that there is a plenitude of the examination and vacuum.
