• curprev 21:4621:46, 26 September 2024 Applesandoranges501 talk contribs 76,566 bytes −36 Deleted the claim that Plantinga's argument relies on axiom 5 of S5 (which had no citation). Replaced it with a reference to Graham Oppy, who writes that it relies on a system B or system S5 modal logic. undo Tag: Visual edit
• curprev 21:3621:36, 26 September 2024 Applesandoranges501 talk contribs m 76,602 bytes +15 extremley nitpicky: replaced "conclusion" with "validity of this argument". This is because the truth of an argument's conclusion relies on the validity of the argument and on the truth of its premises. The considerations that follow this sentence concern the validity of the argument. undo Tag: Visual edit
• curprev 21:1221:12, 26 September 2024 Applesandoranges501 talk contribs m 76,587 bytes +48 Three minor changes: 1) added clarification of what it means to exist necessarily at the first mention of this term; 2) replaced "our world" with "actual world" (to use the proper technical terminology and for greater consistency); 3) replaced "In an attempt to resolve this problem" with "In an attempt to make the argument immune to his criticism" (to make it clear that Plantinga is fixing an issue he sees ... that isn't there in Hartshorne) undo Tag: Visual edit
• curprev 15:3715:37, 26 September 2024 Applesandoranges501 talk contribs m 76,539 bytes +1 I mistakenly wrote a sentence that belongs in the Plantinga section in the Sankara's dictum section. I have now corrected its placement. It says that, according to Oppy, S5 is the right system for Plantinga's purposes. undo Tag: Visual edit
• curprev 15:1115:11, 26 September 2024 Applesandoranges501 talk contribs m 76,538 bytes +9 I mistakenly changed the format of "Sankara's dictum" in a previous edit. Here, I changed it back to sub-heading-1 undo Tag: Visual edit
• curprev 15:0515:05, 26 September 2024 Applesandoranges501 talk contribs 76,529 bytes −2 The page used to read "Richard M. Gale aruged that premise three, the 'possibility premise', begs the question". I replaced "three" with "one" given that in the reconstruction this refers to (by William Craig), the possibility premise is premise 1, not 3. undo Tag: Visual edit
• curprev 14:5914:59, 26 September 2024 Applesandoranges501 talk contribs 76,531 bytes +428 Added that according to Graham Oppy, system S5 gives us the right meanings for "necessary" and "possible" for Plantinga's purposes. undo Tag: Visual edit
• curprev 14:5614:56, 26 September 2024 Applesandoranges501 talk contribs m 76,103 bytes +12 Replaced the phrase "On S5 systems in general" with "On systems of modal logic in general". This is because Garson is not just talking about system S5, but about the aptness of different systems of modal logic in general, depending on the way we want to use "necessarily" and "possibly". undo Tag: Visual edit
• curprev 14:4414:44, 26 September 2024 Applesandoranges501 talk contribs 76,091 bytes +319 Added that Plantinga anticipated the objection that his argument begs the question and stated his response. undo Tag: Visual edit
• curprev 14:3414:34, 26 September 2024 Applesandoranges501 talk contribs 75,772 bytes +703 Added that in the final renditions of his argument, Plantinga phrases it in terms of instantiations of properties rather than in terms of possible beings. undo Tag: Visual edit
• curprev 14:2714:27, 26 September 2024 Applesandoranges501 talk contribs 75,069 bytes +890 Added that there are many different reconstructions of Plantinga's argument accross the literature. Referenced a few examples (Graham Oppy, Joshua Rasmussen, Gregory Stacey, Jordan Sobel). undo Tag: Visual edit
• curprev 13:5213:52, 26 September 2024 Applesandoranges501 talk contribs 74,179 bytes +476 Added a reconstruction of Plantinga's argument by Graham Oppy. I added it because it is simple and because Oppy is a reliable source. undo Tag: Visual edit
• curprev 13:3313:33, 26 September 2024 Applesandoranges501 talk contribs 73,703 bytes +478 Corrected "greatness" and "excellence" to "maximal greatness" and "maximal excellence" Added Plantinga's definitions of "maximal greatness" and "maximal excellence". undo Tag: Visual edit
• curprev 13:2213:22, 26 September 2024 Applesandoranges501 talk contribs 73,225 bytes +309 Added Sobel's defense of Hartshorne against Plantinga's criticism. undo Tag: Visual edit

• curprev 12:3912:39, 26 September 2024 Applesandoranges501 talk contribs 72,811 bytes +1,659 I added an explanation of how Plantinga conflates Malcom's and Hartshorne's argument. I then added that Jordan Sobel disagrees with Plantinga's rendition of Hartshorne. Sobel argues that Hartshorne's argument is not vulnerable to the criticism that Plantinga raises for Malcom. I then improved the explanation of Plantinga's criticism of Malcom. Lastly, I corrected a citation mistake. Plantinga's "God, Freedom and Evil" was 1st published in 1974, not 1975. undo Tag: Visual edit

It is significant because one need not be able to conceive a possible being (as Anselm later suggests God is greater than one can conceive), just unable to conceive a greater being. undo Tag: Visual edit
