ALVAREZ, María Carolina. Kant and the unobservable entities from natural philosophy to natural science. EPISTEME [online]. 2016, vol.36, n.1, pp.1-18. ISSN 0798-4324.

Our goal in this article is to show that the problem of unobservable entities or theoretical terms, as presented in the philosophy of science in the early twentieth century with the empirical principle of meaning, is not an alien subject to Kantian philosophy and is framed in its rigorous reflection on the differences between two types of empiricism: that posed by Hume and natural philosophy of Galileo and Newton. To achieve this we will raise the ontological arguments, cosmological and physic-teleological authors like Descartes, Leibniz and Newton, to account for the Kantian criticism of these tests framed on a through analysis the makes existence. Moreover we discuss its considerations on the design argument and the elimination of God as Newtonian physics course by way of the application of the nebular hypothesis of the origin of the universe.

Palavras-chave : God; existence; Kant-Laplace nebular hypothesis.
