The most important factor that has led to such a conclusion in the scientific approach of these two scholars is their wrong definitions of subject and philosophical conceptions. The current research has critiqued their views by extracting their definitional elements from their works with a library-based approach. Their Misconceptions of philosophy and its realm, as well as their misconceptions of philosophical concepts such as misunderstanding the immaterial, the necessary Being and Its Attributes, the criterion for the need to necessary Being, and the principle of causality, time, and nothingness may be cited as some examples of these deficiencies. Keywords: Steven Hawking, Richard Dawkins, Definitional Foundations, Philosophical Theology, Principles of Atheism. %> http://andishe.maaref.ac.ir/article-1-1060-en.pdf %P 7-20 %& 7 %! %9 Research %L A-10-911-2 %+ Phd student at Islamic Maref University %G eng %@ 2008-9481 %[ 2019
