Moral Argument for the Existence of God
The moral argument for the existence of God is a philosophical approach that asserts that the existence of objective moral values and duties implies the existence of a divine moral lawgiver—namely, God.
This argument was notably supported by thinkers like Immanuel Kant, who believed that the human sense of moral obligation points to a higher power who instills and upholds moral order. According to this view, if objective morals exist, they require a foundation that transcends human subjectivity.
Gandhi also believed in a moral order governed by truth and non-violence. While his faith was not based on traditional theological proofs, he saw moral action as deeply connected to spiritual truth, which he often equated with God.
In essence, the moral argument suggests that without God, there would be no absolute basis for right and wrong, making divine existence a necessary condition for ethical coherence in the universe.
