Abstract
Historically, philosophers who thought our world unsurpassable, like Leibniz, thought it the uniquely best of all possible worlds. But recent developments in value theory and philosophy of religion make clear that our world could be unsurpassable, but not uniquely best—because other worlds are still as good as or incomparable with it. In particular, the world may contain infinities that result in incomparability with many other worlds. This chapter advances the recent philosophical debate over whether it is tenable to hold that our world is unsurpassable, given that it may contain an infinite number of people with lives that go infinitely well. I argue that while recent innovations in formal axiology offer prospects for comparing many worlds with these kinds of infinities, many infinite worlds are genuinely incomparable with each other. Consequently, whether there is another world better than our own ends up turning on substantive metaphysical and normative questions: metaphysical questions about personal identity across possible worlds, and normative questions about what makes for a valuable life.
