Tagore proceeds from the observation of the “universe as a symphony” to “music-maker” (God) which reminds us of :

  • A.Ontological proof
  • B.Cosmological proof
  • C.Teleological proof
  • D.Moral proof

Answer: C

The reasoning reminds us of the teleological proof.

The teleological argument, or argument from design, infers an intelligent designer from the order, harmony and purpose found in the world, as in Paley's watchmaker analogy. Tagore's move from the harmony of the universe, a 'symphony', to God as the 'music-maker' has exactly this shape: the order of the work points to its maker.

The ontological proof argues from the concept of God alone, without appealing to the world. The cosmological proof argues from the existence or causation of the world to a first cause, not from its harmony. The moral proof argues from the moral law or conscience.
