- Title
OMNIPOTENCIA, ACCIONES BÁSICAS Y LA PARADOJA DE FITCH.
- Authors
GRACIA DI RIENZO, ALEJANDRO
- Abstract
In this paper I will discuss some logical problems of omnipotence which go beyond the classical paradoxes of this notion. I will present a refined version of Fitch's paradox of omnipotence which takes into account the distinction between basic and derived actions, as well as the distinction between one's being able to do something and it being metaphysically possible that one does it. I will also explain how to modify the paradox to obtain a liar-like version of it which threatens the consistency of certain notions of omnipotence. Lastly, I will assess some possible replies available to the theist and an attempt to use the paradox as an argument for God's existence.
