The place of the Modern theological voluntarism among realist theories

Theological voluntarism, which is a deep-rooted approach in the philosophy of ethics and is also expressed in Ethyphron's treatise, seeks to prove the dependence of ethics on God. In this article, which has been investigated with an analytical and library method, a comprehensive system for the classification of realist theories is presented first by focusing on minimal realism - which includes subjectivism, intersubjectivity and objectivism. In the following, by explaining the components of the new theological voluntarism, it will be clear that the new theological voluntarism in values is in the category of maximal realism and a novel type of objectivism. The new theological voluntarists in the field of valuing consider moral propositions to be an external nature, which is the good nature of God. Theological voluntarists in the field of conscientiousness are by no means classified as maximal realists. The new theological voluntarism in the section of moral duties supports a special type of subjectivism in which God's desires and wishes are central and not human tendencies and preferences.
