Has anyone noticed, or commented on, the fact that if the No Perfect World argument is sound, then Heaven is impossible? I suspect that philosophers who regard it as a logic puzzle don't care, but Christian apologists probably ought to. Yes, even an eternity of perfect bliss in communion with God can alway be improved upon. Perhaps by adding adequate parking...

Posted by: Jonathan at January 27, 2005 02:20 AMJust curious, but do you think this is a flaw in the No Perfect World argument? While my modal intuitions are unclear, my brief encounter with Sartre convinced me that heaven would become pretty unbearable, good parking or not.
