Abstract

The original: ” Maximal Power”. In Existence and Nature of God, red. Alfred J. Freddoso (Notre Dame: University of Notre Dame Press), 81–114. Translation with the Authors' permission.

The authors argue that God can be both almighty and omnipotent, and that God can be both omnipotent and impeccable. They propose five conditions of philosophical adequacy for an account of maximal power and present an analysis which meets all five conditions. As they argue, the analysis is both philosophically adequate and theologically benign.

Keywords:

omnipotence, maximal power, Peter Geach, Nelson Pike
