Abstract |
The main aim in the forthcoming discussion is to contrast theistic modal
realism and theistic actualist realism. Actualist realism is the dominant
view among theists and presents the most serious challenge to theistic
modal realism. I discuss various prominent forms of theistic actualist
realism. I offer reasons for rejecting the view of metaphysical reality that
actualist realism affords. I discuss theistic modal realism and show that
the traditional conception of God is perfectly consistent with the
metaphysics of genuine modal realism. Indeed theistic modal realism is
more suited to traditional theism than is any version of actualist realism.
