Lewisian theism is the view that both traditional theism and Lewis’s modal realism are true. On Lewisian theism, God must exist in worlds in one of the following ways: (1) God can be said to have a counterpart in each world; (2) God can be said to exist in each world in the way that a universal can be said to exist in worlds (if universals exist), i.e. through transworld identity; (3) God can be said to be a scattered individual, with a part of God existing in each world; and, (4) God can be said to exist in each world, through His existing from the standpoint of each world. In the literature, (1)–(4) have been rejected as viable options. I grant that (1) and (3) are not viable. However, I believe that (2) and (4) have been too hastily rejected. Herein, I develop ways to respond to objections to (2) and (4), and conclude that (4) is a viable option for Lewisian theists.

上帝在世界上的位置

刘易斯有神论认为传统有神论和刘易斯的模态实在论都是正确的。在刘易斯有神论中,上帝必须以下列方式之一存在于世界中:(1)可以说上帝在每个世界中都有一个对应物;(2) 可以说上帝存在于每个世界中,就像普遍存在于世界中一样(如果普遍存在),即通过跨世界同一性;(3) 神可以说是一个分散的个体,每个世界都存在着神的一部分;并且, (4) 可以说上帝存在于每个世界中,通过他从每个世界的角度存在。在文献中,(1)-(4)已被拒绝作为可行的选择。我承认(1)和(3)是不可行的。但是,我认为(2)和(4)被过于仓促地拒绝了。在此,我制定了回应对(2)和(4)的反对意见的方法,
