To Obey is to Worship: A Reply to Brown and Nagasawa

Year 2025, Volume: 66 Issue: 1, 523 - 527, 31.05.2025

Abstract

In their paper titled “I Can’t Make You Worship Me”, Campbell Brown and Yujin Nagasawa (2005) argue that divine command theory is incompatible with the view that we have a moral obligation to worship God. In this paper I examine their concern and suggest ways we could reconcile the two views together.

İtaat Etmek, İbadet Etmektir: Brown ve Nagasawa’ya Bir Cevap

Year 2025, Volume: 66 Issue: 1, 523 - 527, 31.05.2025

Abstract

Campbell Brown ve Yujin Nagasawa, “I Can’t Make You Worship Me” başlıklı makalelerinde (2005), ilahî buyruk teorisinin Tanrı’ya ibadet etmenin ahlaki bir yükümlülük olduğu görüşüyle bağdaşmadığını savunurlar. Bu makalede söz konusu itiraz ele alınmakta ve bu iki görüşün nasıl uzlaştırılabileceğine dair bazı öneriler sunulmaktadır.
