Metaphilosophical Reflections on Theism and Atheism in the Current Debate (original) (raw)

This paper explores the normative and descriptive criteria for categorizing contemporary theistic and atheistic philosophies within the philosophy of religion. It discusses the relationship between these philosophies and broader philosophical traditions, questioning whether they are fundamentally grounded in objective reasoning or merely reflect subjective criteria shaped by tradition. Additionally, it highlights parallels between philosophical notions of faith, psychological reflections, and critiques of reducing religion to social phenomena, ultimately arguing for a more nuanced understanding of the intersection between philosophy and religion.
