Résumé: | The recent aloneness argument against the classical conception of God seeks to undermine divine simplicity by showing that whatever way you cut it, there is some knowledge that God has contingently.

The authors of the aloneness argument present it as a problem for any classical theist. In what follows, I seek to show that Aquinas’s conception of God avoids the challenge of the aloneness argument. |
