Abstract
[Autom. eng. transl.] In this essay, which traverses and comments on some exemplary texts of modern philosophy, we consider some answers that tradition has formulated relatively to the question about God, keeping in the background the intrinsic question that pertains to the scandal of "evil". The first model analyzed identifies God with the necessarily existing perfect Being (so, for example, Descartes and, in a different way, Kant); according to a second model, God is the Other, wholly assimilated to the Christ of faith (Pascal and Kierkegaard have dealt with it in several works); a third model meant God as an imaginary entity, fiction or illusion (Hume and Feuerbach).
