The deadlock of absolute divine simplicity

Description

In this article, I explain how and why different attempts to defend abso-
lute divine simplicity fail. A proponent of absolute divine simplicity has to explain
why different attributions do not suppose a metaphysical complexity in God but just
one superproperty, why there is no difference between God and His super-property
and finally how a absolute simple entity can be the truthmaker of different intrinsic
predications. It does not necessarily lead to a rejection of divine simplicity but it shows
that we may consider another conception of divine simplicity compatible with some
metaphysical complexity in God.
