GETTING TO KNOW A GOD YOU DO NOT BELIEVE IN: PANENTHEISM, EXTERNALISM, AND DIVINE HIDDENNESS

J. L. Schellenberg's hiddenness argument is one of the key contemporary justifications for atheism and has prompted numerous responses from those defending the plausibility of belief in God. I will outline a recent counterargument from Michael C. Rea, who claims that relationships with God are far more widely available than Schellenberg assumes. However, I will suggest that it invites a response from proponents of the hiddenness argument because it leaves some nonbelievers unaccounted for. I will rectify this by suggesting that a model of panentheism in which God is embodied in the cosmos allows all, including all nonbelievers, to have a relationship with God. I will then claim that semantic externalism and externalism about beliefs can enable nonbelievers to get to know this God. I will then challenge the hiddenness argument by suggesting that these relationships can accommodate the key motivations behind Schellenberg's insistence on personal relationships without requiring subjects to recognize that they are in a relationship with God.

认识一个你不相信的上帝:泛神论、外在论和神圣隐藏

JL Schellenberg 的隐性论点是当代无神论的关键理由之一,并引起了那些捍卫信仰上帝的合理性的人的无数回应。我将概述 Michael C. Rea 最近的反驳,他声称与上帝的关系比 Schellenberg 假设的要广泛得多。然而,我会建议它邀请隐藏性论点的支持者做出回应,因为它让一些非信徒下落不明。我将通过建议一个泛神论模型来纠正这一点,在这个模型中,上帝体现在宇宙中,允许所有人,包括所有非信徒,与上帝建立关系。然后我将声称,语义外在主义和关于信仰的外在主义可以使非信徒认识这位上帝。
