metadata.value: The article presents the topic of arguments of the existence of God in the works of Russian religious
  philosophers of the second half of the 19th — the first half of the 20th century. This topic
  is found in the discourse of Russian religious philosophy in three variants: putting forward
  arguments for the existence of God, analysis of Kant’s criticism of the proofs for the existence
  of God, statements about the meaninglessness of the proofs for religious consciousness. In
  all variants, there is an inextricable connection between Russian philosophers’ argumentation
  and their metaphysical propositions. The discourse of Russian religious philosophy itself
  should be considered a way of contextual demonstration of the significance of metaphysical
  propositions for religious consciousness. The topic was not only a moment of strengthening
  the epistemological status of religious knowledge in relation to scientific knowledge, but it had
  also the importance of philosophizing to form religious worldview. Using the examples of the
  analysis of both the proofs of the existence of God and their criticism, which is found in the
  works by S. N. Bulgakov, V. I. Nesmelov, V. S. Solovyov, E. N. Trubetskoy, B. N. Chicherin, and
  S. L. Frank, the pragmatics of their discourse is revealed — it was aimed not at finding some
  new ways to substantiate the existence of God with rational means, but at substantiating the
  necessity of religious faith for the human reason — the faith is not only the main element of religious
  consciousness, but also a metaphysical principle of cognition of God. The study of the
  contexts of the appeal of Frank and other Russian philosophers to the topic of the ontological
  argument leads to the conclusion that such an appeal was associated with the demonstration
  of the relevance of their metaphysical constructions with the Christian religion.
