Divine Necessity and the Cosmological Argument
The Monist 54 (3):401-415 (1970)
Abstract
An analysis of the use of "necessary" in the cosmological argument reveals that the criticism of it, i.e., that its conclusion is self-contradictory because no existential proposition can be logically necessary, is due to the mistaken contention that the necessity involved is logical rather than conditional necessity.Author's Profile
