Abstract
This article analyzes the way in which the German philosopher Jörg Splett understands the possibility of the experience of God, especially in the context of philosophical thought. Starting from a metaphysical conception of philosophy and exploring the concept of indirect transcendental experience, it articulates God’s experience with the experience of freedom as lived in the context of ethical interpellation. This reading allows for a theistic understanding of God, according to which the relationship between God and the world deviates from monistic interpretations – which nullify difference – and from dualistic interpretations – that nullify the relationship. The experience of the third grounds the true human experience of freedom and in it the possibility of the experience of God.
