摘要：Recently a debate about the importance of natural theology and the traditional arguments for the existence of God has re-opened in the analytic philosophy of religion. This paper means to trace the history of the teleological argument analyzing its classical formulation, humian and darwinian criticism, highlighting the contemporary formulation of the argument, in particular in Alvin Plantinga’s theory in which the existence of a Conscious Designer is in the very bases of his theory of knowledge.
