Yujin Nagasawa presents a new, stronger version of perfect being
theism, the conception of God as the greatest possible being.
Although perfect being theism is the most common form of monotheism
in the Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition its truth has been
disputed by philosophers and theologians for centuries. Nagasawa
proposes a new, game-changing defence of perfect being theism by
developing what he calls the 'maximal concept of God'. Perfect
being theists typically maintain that God is an omniscient,
omnipotent, and omnibenevolent being; according to Nagasawa, God
should be understood rather as a being that has the maximal
consistent set of knowledge, power, and benevolence. Nagasawa
argues that once we accept the maximal concept we can establish
perfect being theism on two grounds. First, we can refute nearly
all existing arguments against perfect being theism simultaneously.
Second, we can construct a novel, strengthened version of the modal
ontological argument for perfect being theism. Nagasawa concludes
that the maximal concept grants us a unified defence of perfect
being theism that is highly effective and economical.
