โœฆ Synopsis

In his book Philosophical Theology, James Ross offers a modal argument for the existence of God which leads to an antinomy. 1 This antinomy and the problems derived from it exhibit the impossibility of successfully completing a modal argument for God's existence. Other philosophers have proposed versions of the modal argument for God's existence, but none have shown as keen an understanding of the argument or have developed it as thoroughly as Ross has. 2 Ross's version of the argument is the strongest version of the argument and so if his argument is not successful, none will be and that his is not successful and could never be successful will be established in this paper.

The argument in question is presented by Ross on pages 131-132 of Philosophical Theology and is essentially the following:
