Frankfurt/Main: Ontos 2008. 8°. 188 S., gebunden (sehr gut erhalten) (=Philosophical analysis ; Vol. 23)

The aim of the book is to clarify the concept of omniscience. This is done first by discussing basic questions on omniscience (chs.1-12) and secondly by offering a theory of omniscience as an axiomatic system in which also a definition of omniscience isgiven (ch.13). The twelve chapters deal with questions like whether everything is true what God knows, whether God s knowledge is bound to time, whether it concerns singular truths or only laws, whether it extends also to contingent future events …etc.
