Abstract

This article is about how eternity is understood in "open theism", which opens an important area of discussion in the analytical philosophy of religion on the compatibility of the God’s knowledge and human freedom, and basically points to the temporal openness of God. Open theism interprets eternity as divine temporality. In divine temporality, God is not a timeless being as in classical theism, he is also in time, past, present and future also apply to God. According to open theism, there are plausible reasons to accept this view rather than the divine timelessness. In this study, it is examined why open theists do not accept divine timelessness. For this, firstly, how open theists defend the A-theory about time is discussed. Then, the view that God's personality and acting qualities, which are fundamental in theism, are more consistent with divine temporality, and that there are some incomprehensible views about God's knowledge if timelessness is accepted, were evaluated. In this study, which includes two difficult issues such as time and the qualities of God, it is understood that the basic issue is that the problems and solutions are shaped according to the understanding of time, which is accepted in the first place.

Özet

Bu makale, analitik din felsefesinde Tanrı’nın bilgisi ve insan özgürlüğünün bağdaştırılması meselesinde önemli birtartışma alanı açan ve temelde Tanrı’nın zamansal ve bilgisel olarak açıklığına işaret eden “açık teizm”de ezeliliğin nasılanlaşıldığıyla ilgilidir. Açık teizm ezeliliği, ilahi zamansallık şeklinde yorumlar. İlahi zamansallıkta Tanrı; zamansız birvarlık değildir, zamanın içindedir, geçmiş, şimdi ve gelecek Tanrı için de geçerlidir. Açık teizme göre ilahi zamansızlıkyerine bu görüşü kabul etmenin makul sebepleri vardır. Bu çalışmada açık teistlerin ilahi zamansızlığı neden kabuletmedikleri incelenmiştir. Bunun için öncelikle açık teistlerin zaman konusunda kabul ettikleri A-teoriyi nasılsavundukları ele alınmıştır. Daha sonra teizmde temel olan Tanrı’nın zat olması ve eylemde bulunması niteliklerinin ilahizamansallıkla daha tutarlı olduğu ve zamansızlık kabul edilirse Tanrı’nın bilgisi konusunda bazı anlaşılmazlıklarınolacağı iddiaları değerlendirilmiştir. Felsefede zaman ve Tanrı’nın nitelikleri gibi iki zor meseleyi içeren bu çalışmadaaçık teistlerin iddialarının dayanakları irdelenirken temel meselenin; problemlerin ve çözümlerin şekillenmesinde enbaşta kabul edilen zaman anlayışının etkili olduğu görülmüştür.
