- More about Why God Must Do What is Best: A Philosophical Investigation of Theistic Optimism
Theistic Optimism is the idea that God must create the best possible world. This book argues that it is consistent with divine freedom, aseity, gratitude, and our typical modal intuitions and provides a vigorous defense against the charge that it deviates from the Christian tradition.
Format: Hardback
Length: 208 pages

Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
Contemporary theologians and philosophers of religion frequently overlook the notion that God, who is regarded as the most perfect being, must create the best possible world. This book makes a compelling case for what Justin J. Daeley refers to as Theistic Optimism and engages with the existing literature to identify its limitations. Daeley contends that Theistic Optimism is compatible with divine freedom, aseity, gratitude, and our common modal intuitions while tracing its roots back to Gottfried Leibniz's thought. He offers plausible solutions to criticisms leveled against Theistic Optimism and presents a robust and original defense against the charge that it deviates from the Christian tradition. By engaging with both the Christian tradition and contemporary theologians and philosophers, Why God Must Do What is Best firmly establishes the idea of Theistic Optimism within the framework of contemporary philosophy of religion.
