摘要

对于上帝是否能使世界变得比他所做的更好这个标准问题,斯各脱给出了一个原创的答案。博纳旺蒂尔和托马斯·阿奎那认为,上帝可以创造比现实世界更好的其他世界,但现实世界的秩序是最合适的,而司各特的策略是基于这样一种主张,即在上帝的选择之前,比较其他可能的事态是好是坏是没有意义的。他认为现实世界的秩序是好的,不是因为它是其他秩序中最好的,而是因为它是上帝创造的他意志的对象。因此,任何抱怨上帝没有把事情做得比他所做的更好,与其说是毫无根据,不如说是毫无意义。

Scotus on the possibility of a better world
Scotus gave an original answer to the standard question whether God can make the world better than He did. Whereas Bonaventure and Thomas Aquinas had held that God can create other worlds, better than the actual one, but that the order of the actual world is the most fitting one, Scotus’s strategy is based on the claim that it makes no sense to compare alternative possible states of affairs as better or worse before God’s choice. He held that the order of the actual world is good not because it is the best among other alternative orders but because it is the order that God has made the object of His volition. Accordingly, any complaint about God’s failing to make things better than He did is not so much groundless as meaningless.
