Abstract
The article aims to set the boundaries for the description and understanding of God and God’s attributes in the “New Universal Philosophy” (lat. “Nova de universis philosophia”), i.e. in “Panarchia”, of our great renaissance philosopher Frane Petrić. “Panarchia” consists of 22 books. In the 19th book Petrić focuses on the attributes of God, but the discussion of the attributes continues throughout the 20th up to the 22nd book, which gives us a complete view on the subject.
God has not only created the world but he also supports its existence. He is the creator giving sustenance to the world, a supernatural being, owing all the perfections, i.e. divine attributes. We shall focus on the interpretation of the Divine attributes offered in the 19th book of “Panarchia”, through the prism of the Christian religion. By the discussion on God and his attributes in Petrić, we want to illustrate the earlier understanding of God, and the ways in which our knowledge of God can be perfected by Petrić’s valuable heritage. We shall approach this interesting issue from the standpoint of historical and recent debates on God and his attributes.
