@article { , title = {Do possible worlds compromise God's beauty? A reply to Mark Ian Thomas Robson}, abstract = {In a recent article Mark Ian Thomas Robson argues that there is a clear contradiction between the view that possible worlds are a part of God's nature and the theologically pivotal, but philosophically neglected, claim that God is perfectly beautiful. In this article I show that Robson's argument depends on several key assumptions that he fails to justify and as such that there is reason to doubt the soundness of his argument. I also demonstrate that if Robson's argument were sound then this would be a problem for all classical theists and not just those who hold the possible worlds view.}, doi = {10.1017/s0034412512000042}, eissn = {1469-901X}, issn = {0034-4125}, issue = {4}, journal = {Religious Studies}, pages = {515-532}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Cambridge University Press}, url = {https://nottingham-repository.worktribe.com/output/1009253}, volume = {48}, keyword = {Philosophy, Religious studies}, year = {2012}, author = {Robson, Jon} }
