Abstract

In this paper, I develop and respond to a novel objection to conciliatory views of disagreement. Having first explained conciliationism and the problem of divine hiddenness, I develop an objection that conciliationism exacerbates the problem of divine hiddenness. According to this objection, conciliationism increases God's hiddenness in both its scope and severity, and is thus incompatible with God's existence (or at least make God's existence quite improbable). I respond to this objection by showing that the problem of divine hiddenness is not made any worse by conciliationism.
