Summary/Abstract: The author distinguishes two forms of interdisciplinarity of theology: interdisciplinarity as a relation between different theological disciplines and interdisciplinarity as a connection of theology with non-theological disciplines of knowledge. As for the second form of interdisciplinarity, the author discusses the relation of theology to philosophy and the relation of theology to empirical sciences, which, in his opinion, should not be a relation of dependence on a specific scientific image of the world. He points out that theology does not presuppose any particular philosophical system, but, on the other hand, theological statements constitute a negative criterion according to which not every philosophical system is suitable for interpreting the data of Revelation.
