Auto-creación de Dios y desfundamentación del mundo

Abstract

The aim of this article is to show the difficulties arisen by the notion of God as fundamentum inconcussum realitatis, as the predicates of divine necessity and the role of God as creator may be incompatible between then and also with other traditional attributes of Theism such as infinite goodness and omnipotence. Although being the necessary foundation of contingency and, at the same time, the uncreated creator of the world have always been considered as two indispensable divine attributes, we shall consider the possibility, at least in theory, of a created and contingent God. This sets up many questions and several problems, such as the possibility of God’s suicide, a topic discussed by Richard Swinburne, as well as that of a regent-God.
