      ab: This article examines Paul Guyer's claim that we should attempt to ground the principle of religious freedom on the basis of Kant's arguments for religious liberty. I problematise Guyer's suggestion by investigating a hypothetical 'dogmatic conflict' between a scientifically and a religiously grounded belief. I further suggest that considering Christian Wolff's philosophy might provide us with an approach which shares the benefits that Guyer identifies in Kant, while at the same time avoiding the issues Kant might run into that result from the occurrence of the dogmatic conflict. I start by providing a background to Wolff's philosophy and explaining the notion of the dogmatic conflict. Then I present a potential contemporary case of the dogmatic conflict and try to see how it would be dealt with based on Guyer's proposal. Finally, I consider what a Wolffi an solution would look like, arguing that Guyer's project might benefi t from considering Wolff.
