Description

This philosophical investigation by Justin Daeley examines the concept of Theistic Optimalism-the idea that God, as the most perfect being, necessarily creates the best possible world. Published by Bloomsbury Academic under their Studies in Philosophy of Religion series, the book addresses a concept often under-acknowledged in contemporary theology and philosophy of religion. Daeley engages critically with existing literature to highlight both the strengths and limitations of Theistic Optimalism, extending the discussion well beyond the traditional debate over divine freedom. The work argues persuasively that Theistic Optimalism remains consistent with divine aseity and divine gratitude whilst aligning with our standard modal intuitions. This rigorous philosophical study offers plausible solutions to key objections, making it essential reading for scholars and students of philosophy of religion seeking a deeper understanding of how divine perfection and world creation interact.
