Many people have tried to come up with a view about the nature of God by starting from the principle that God is the greatest possible being.

An ancient tradition, which is perhaps more influential now than ever, tries to derive the attributes of God from the principle that God is the greatest possible being.

In the last chapter, he sketches an alternative path forward.
