摘要

In Divine Hiddenness and Human Reason, Schellenberg extensively discusses theological responses to his hiddenness argument against God’s existence. In his later writings, he draws a sharp distinction between philosophy and theology, excluding theology from the philosophical discussion of hiddenness. I explain why this distinction, as he formulates it, is not clear enough and argue that theology should be excluded from this discussion only in its dogmatic sense. By critically assessing Schellenberg’s assumptions about the boundaries of philosophy and theology and exploring two contrasting conceptions of philosophy, I aim to show that his exclusion of theology implicitly depends on the validity of a particular conception of philosophy.
