"In Plato’s Republic one finds the proposition: God, being perfect, cannot change . The argument may seem cogent, but it is so only if two assumptions are valid: that it is possible to conceive of a meaning for "perfect" that excludes change in any and every respect and that we must conceive God as perfect in just this sense."
