The popularity of theodicy over the past several decades has given rise to a countermovement, “anti-theodicy”, which admonishes attempts at theodicy for various reasons. This paper examines one prominent anti-theodical objection: that it is hubristic, and attempts to form an approach to theodicy which evades this objection. To do so I draw from the work of Eleonore Stump, who provides a framework by which we can glean second-personal knowledge of God. From this knowledge, I argue that we can derive a theodicy which does not utilise the kind of analytic theorising anti-theodicists accuse of intellectual hubris.

第二人称神论：通过认识上帝自己来了解为什么上帝允许受苦

在过去的几十年里，神正论的流行引起了一种反运动，即“反神正论”，它告诫出于各种原因进行神正论的尝试。本文考察了一个突出的反神论反对意见：它是傲慢的，并试图形成一种回避这种反对意见的神正论方法。为此，我借鉴了 Eleonore Stump 的工作，她提供了一个框架，我们可以通过该框架收集关于上帝的第二人称知识。根据这些知识，我认为我们可以推导出一种神正论，它不利用反神论者指责知识分子傲慢的那种分析理论。
