Beall and Cotnoir (2017) argue that theists may accept the claim that God's omnipotence is fully unrestricted if they also adopt a suitable nonclassical logic. Their primary focus is on the infamous Stone problem (i.e., whether God can create a stone too heavy for God to lift). We show how unrestricted omnipotence generates Curry‐like paradoxes. The upshot is that Beall and Cotnoir only provide a solution to one version of the Stone problem, but that unrestricted omnipotence generates other problems which they do not adequately address.

咖喱全能:对 Beall 和 Cotnoir 的回复

Beall 和 Cotnoir (2017) 认为,如果他们也采用合适的非经典逻辑,有神论者可能会接受上帝的全能是完全不受限制的说法。他们的主要焦点是臭名昭著的石头问题(即,上帝是否可以创造一块太重而上帝举不起来的石头)。我们展示了不受限制的全能如何产生类似库里的悖论。结果是 Beall 和 Cotnoir 只为斯通问题的一个版本提供了解决方案,但不受限制的全能产生了他们没有充分解决的其他问题。
