Abstract

God's attributes is one of the crucial issues in theology. This is being discussed in two aspects: the relation of attributes to God's essence, and the relation of different attributes with each other. The question, on one hand, is whether or not God possesses any attribute, and on the other hand, it can be questioned what is the relation between attribute themselves. The traditional answers in this regard are divided into two approaches, agnosticism and anthropomorphism. However, both approaches face some problems. In this paper, it will be attempted to show that how philosophers' explanation of God's attributes puts them into trouble, and will be argued that both approaches to God's attributes are faced with some problems.
