Abstract

In the article, the author responds to Krzysztof Jaworski’s (2023) polemic, maintaining the thesis that, in relation to the methodological criteria of science, theology should be considered a formal science. The author argues that theology does not meet the criteria of empirical science due to the impossibility of treating God as a public subject of study. The author also addresses Jaworski’s objections and points to the need for a more precise definition of his earlier position, emphasizing the importance of formal methods and rules of text transformation in theology.
