Abstract

Justification of believe in god had been one of the most challenging problem throughout history of philosophy. The problem is "is believe in god epistemically justified?" Gutting''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s theory in justification of theism is combined of two parts. He critiques Witgenstainian''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s view firstly, and then considers Aquinas view, Plantinga''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s view and some other views as incorrect views on theism firstly. Gutting says Witgenstainians and Tomistic approaches cannot draw a religious language exactly. He also considers Plantinga''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s view as an incorrect view, because it is possible, there are epistemic peers to believers that existence of god is not as fundamental belief for them. Discussing his own view Gutting justify believing in god regarding religious experience. This article explains Gutting''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s critique on Witgenstainian''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s, Tomistic and Planting''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s approach on justification of believe in god.
