摘要:
According to Jeff Speaks, one sort of perfect being theology takes its rise from a description of God as the greatest conceivable being. Speaks offers two problems for this project. One is finding a suitable sense of 'conceivable'. The other concerns what he calls 'troublemakers', attributes that seem to show that God cannot be the greatest conceivable being. Speaks brings these together in a dilemma.
