Conflict and the Problem of Hidden Attributes

An over-simple version of the method of perfect being theology arguably attributes to God incompossible properties (e.g. both the property of being able to do wrong and the property of being necessarily perfectly good). This chapter argues that the possibility that the method of perfect being theology leads us to attribute properties to God which are incompossible with hidden properties of God—properties of which we have no grasp—should make us skeptical of the results of perfect being reasoning. In that sense, the optimism about perfect being theology relies on unrealistic assumptions about our understanding of God. This chapter considers and replies to the objection that the style of argument given here generalizes to an implausibly general skepticism.
