Critique of a famous theological argument from first principles A sharp, sustained examination of the so‑called argument from necessity for the existence of God. It questions the logic, definitions, and use of abstract ideas in classic proofs.

In this detailed analysis, the author probes the premises behind the claim that a necessary being or infinite extension must exist. The work compares different positions, exposes logical missteps, and challenges the idea that mathematical terms can determine metaphysical truth. It reads like a rigorous debate that tests how theories of existence, space, and duration should be understood in theology and philosophy.

Clear, point‑by‑point critique of the a priori case for God’s being and attributes

Discussion of how terms like necessity, substratum, and infinity are used in metaphysical argument

Evaluation of the roles of space, time, and substance in challenging traditional proofs

Accessible, logical reasoning aimed at readers interested in philosophy of religion

Ideal for readers of skeptical philosophy and early modern religious philosophy, who want a thoughtful, exacting counterpoint to established proofs.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a response to the proposition that the existence of a supreme being can be proven by abstract, mathematical reasoning. The author presents a detailed critique of one such prominent argument, which posits that a being must exist necessarily, and that this being must possess infinite and omnipotent qualities. Through a thorough examination of the argument's structure and underlying assumptions, the author challenges the validity of such a priori demonstrations. In doing so, they explore the limitations of abstract reasoning in matters of ontology and the importance of examining the nature of existence and evidence. This critique sheds light on the philosophical complexities of the existence debate, providing valuable insights for readers interested in the intersection of theology, logic, and the nature of reality.
