Possibilities for a Better World

The possibility to create a better world The image of the world and human beings drawn by Kurt Vonnegut at Cats' Cradle is not positive. The characters of many novels are working hard, this is not a utopia. This is a foolish world The truth is based on lies The balance between good and evil is the creation of the country. If Vonnegut's idea is "poisoning ideas with human beings, encouraging them to create a better world," it is a stupidity of humanity, silly of our daily lives It is possible to change our view that we can show only that we can create a "better world". In the Cat's Cradle on page 191, Vonnegut succeeded in suppressing almost all lifestyles, all motivating factors.

Of course, this world is not the best world. We can easily think about a better world. Let's take some unforgettable painful events. It is a tragic bombing of the Oklahoma City Federal Building. Of course, the world without that event will be better than the real world. Without that incident, God has no reason to create this world. Therefore, this is not the best world. Leibniz's response to this criticism is divided into two stages. First of all, Leibniz can think of some of the most impressive features of the world, but they may be better than those, but we create a better world without these features I do not know if it is possible or not It is never possible to have certain characteristics of the relationship between the discussed token event and other events in the world. If you can improve or eliminate problematic token events without changing the world, there may be a better world.

If there is a better world W * for possible world W, then there is no best world. Without the best world, the sign of God's imperfection is that he can not create the best world. Therefore, without the best world, the truth of (2.2a) does not mean that God is not perfect. Therefore, if there is a better world W * for potential world W, (2.5) is wrong. However, Leibniz still responds to this objection. Because it is assumed that there is no best world, God created this world anyhow. Because God could create a better world, God acted in a more perfect way than he did, he would have created a better world than he did. Therefore, when creating this world, the behavior of God is not perfect. But God will not behave incompletely. So, is this the best of all possible worlds, or did not God create it
