metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article deals with the approach to the question of proving the existence of God
  from the point of view of the concept of personality. Human existence is not limited
  to the concept of nature: individuality is not equal to personality. Attempts to
  reduce consciousness to brain function remain a hypothesis. The anthropological
  problem of man cannot be solved only within the framework of natural science.
  The phenomenological philosophy of the 20th century found a new way within the
  framework of philosophical anthropology, the key concept of which is the concept
  of personality. Man is constantly striving to transcend his nature in his life. The
  historical existence of the individual is realized through the transformation of the
  world in accordance with value attitudes. The very existence of religions is an answer
  to an individual’s query about the meaning of the fundamental facts of life:
  birth, death, and the existence of evil. Personality, personal being, is both a fact and
  a task for man: everything that exists must be personified. The dialogical aspect of
  being a person is considered. The personal existence of man also requires a personal
  God. The revelation of the personal God is a response to the human thirst for supernatural
  communication. The church acts as a unity of personalities in the super
  personality of God, transcending the boundary of earthly life. The very existence of
  the Christian Church is a personalistic analog of the proof of the existence of God.
