^{page 95 note 1} Plantinga rejects Gaunilo's parodies of Anselm on the grounds that the qualities which make for greatness in islands and the like have no ‘intrinsic maximum’. My parodies are designed to avoid such an objection either by appealing to qualities which as plausibly have an ‘intrinsic maximum’ as those which Plantinga gives his God or by concentrating merely on ‘specials’ and avoiding ‘maximals’ altogether.
