    It is not the case that The incompatibility objection only defeats versions relying on naive greatness-summing, not modal versions that ground greatness in broadly logical necessity.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Modal grounding merely relocates the problem: why should logical necessity determine greatness rather than metaphysical priority?
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The incompatibility objection targets greatness-attribution itself, not summation: modal versions still need greatness concepts.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Logical necessity is too restrictive: it excludes contingent perfections (love, grace, responsive freedom) from divine attributes.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Logical necessity avoids arbitrariness: properties grounded in necessity don't depend on contingent summation procedures.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Modal versions can isolate genuine perfections: a property is great iff its absence entails logical impossibility or limitation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Naive summing creates contradictions (omnipotence + immutability); modal grounding dissolves these by non-additive criteria.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
