Recent advances in the theory of vagueness, the metaphysics of multiverses and hyperspace, the theory of dynamic or sequential choice, the logic of moral and rational dilemmas, and metaethical theory provide the resources to formulate the new challenges and the Anselmian responses with an unusual degree of precision. Almeida shows that the challenges arising in the unusual contexts involving unlimited options sometimes produce metaphysical surprise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Philosophers of religion with a metaphysical bent will find much of interest here.\" -- \u003cem\u003eNotre Dame Philosophical Reviews\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter One: Atheistic Arguments from Improvability\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Two: Rational Choice and No Best World\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Three: On Evil's Vague Necessity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Four: The Problem of No Maximum Evil\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Five: On the Logic of Imperfection\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Six: Supervenience, Divine Freedom and Absolute Orderings\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Seven: Vague Eschatology\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Eight: Theistic Modal Realism, Multiverses and Hyperspace \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendices\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49402161496407,"sku":"9780415962933","price":142.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-metaphysics-of-perfect-beings-9780415962933","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
