• Resumen

  • This paper revolves around a common facet of Anthony Kenny’s and Christopher Hughes’s papers in this volume. The many differences between their papers notwithstanding, Kenny’s and Hughes’ overall approach to simplicity is basically the same; I call it the “phenomenology-plus-restriction” strategy. If we discard it in favour of another (the “constructive”) strategy, divine simplicity might appear in a more plausible light, even if there is still a price to pay.
