Description:
Is there a propositional revelation, and if so, are there rational criteria by which one can distinguish a true revelation from one that only pretends to be one? In the first section of this essay, I will analyze the basic concepts of "revelation" and "knowledge" associated with the topic under discussion. In the second section, I will name epistemological objections that result from these analyses for propositional revelation: firstly, problems of criteria of first and second order revelation, and secondly, the performative self-contradiction of the condition of transcendence contained in the definition of propositional revelation. Finally, in the third section I draw fundamental epistemological consequences from the previous considerations.
