Summary/Abstract: In this paper I argue that a universal philosophical theistic approach to reality is still possible. I highlighted the meaning of ‘being’ as the starting point of classical medieval metaphysics as the starting point upon which a universal theistic metaphysics could be established. The importance of such project is to show that the most universal religious idea of God’s existence is not a product of superstition or of mere belief, but of rationality that has the same foundation as any scientific inquiry into reality. This starting point is the universal meaning of ‘being qua being,’ that due to its absolute extension corresponds with the absoluteness of existence (i.e. the absoluteness of being), and as such represents the foundation of any conception and cognition.
