Abstract

Bu çalışmada Paul Helm’in ilahi inayet doktrini üzerinden geliştirdiği teolojik determinist görüşünü ele alacağız. Helm’e göre, bütün âlemde her şey Tanrı’nın inayeti kaynaklı takdirine uygun olarak meydana gelir. Bu yaklaşımda, Tanrı’nın önbilgisini insanın özgürlüğü ile mezcetme konusunda birtakım zorluklar ve böyle bir âlemde kötülüklerin neden var olduğuyla ilgili bazı problemler ortaya çıkmaktadır. İnsanın özgürlüğünü “bağdaşırcı özgür irade” üzerinden açıklayan Helm’e göre, her şeyin Tanrı’nın takdirine uygun olarak meydana geldiği dünyamızda insan yaptığı eylemlerden sorumludur. Muhaliflere göre, onun bu yaklaşımı Tanrı’yı kötü eylemlerin faili yapmaktadır. Helm’e göre ise insanın özgürlüğü determinizmin her türüyle bağdaştığı gibi ilahi determinizm ile de bağdaşabilir, bu nedenle insan yaptığı eylemlerden sorumludur. Dünyamızda neden kötülüklerin var olduğuyla ilgili “daha büyük iyi savunmasını” yapan Helm’e göre, Tanrı’nın bazı kötülüklere izin verdiğiyle ilgili gerekçelerini bilmek her zaman mümkün değildir. Onun bu açıklaması genel manada sağduyulu ve makul görünse de özellikle bazı korkunç kötülüklerin açıklanması konusunda tatmin edici olmayabilir.

Theological Determinism and Divine Providence in Paul Helm

Year 2023, Volume: 10 Issue: 1, 31 - 44, 26.06.2023

Abstract

In this paper, I examined Paul Helm’s theological determinism that he developed based off the doctrine of divine providence. Helm argues that, everything in the world happens in accordance with God's decree based on his providence. However, it is hard to explain the compatibility of God’s foreknowledge and human freedom as well as the existence of evil in the world on this view. For Helm, who explains human freedom through “compatibilist sense”, human is responsible for his actions in our world where everything happens in accordance with God's decree. According to opponents, this approach of him makes God the authorship of evil actions. Helm argues that human freedom can be compatible with divine determinism as well as with all kinds of determinism, therefore human is responsible for his actions. According to Helm, who defends “the greater good defence” as to why evil exists in our world, it is not always possible to know God's reasons for allowing some evils. While his explanation may seem prudential and reasonable in general, it may not be particularly satisfying when it comes to explaining some horrendous evils.
