In his ‘Does God have beliefs?’, William Alston argues for an intuitive construal of the nature of Divine knowledge according to which God's knowledge consists in His direct awareness without any beliefs. Recently, Travis Dickinson has raised some objections to Alston's view and has developed an alternative account of God's knowledge as His acquaintance with a fact, a corresponding thought or belief, and a correspondence between these two. In this article, I respond to Dickinson's objections and show that there is no reason to favour his acquaintance construal of God's knowledge over Alston's intuitive view of the nature of God's knowledge.

作为直接意识的神圣知识：对阿尔斯通的辩护

在他的“上帝有信仰吗？”中，威廉·奥尔斯顿（William Alston）主张对神圣知识的本质进行直观解释，根据这种解释，上帝的知识在于他没有任何信仰的直接意识。最近，特拉维斯·狄金森对阿尔斯通的观点提出了一些反对意见，并提出了另一种关于上帝的知识的解释，即上帝对一个事实、相应的思想或信仰以及这两者之间的对应关系的认识。在这篇文章中，我回应了狄金森的反对意见，并表明没有理由支持他对上帝知识的熟人解释，而不是阿尔斯通对上帝知识本质的直观观点。
