immutability and impassibility immutability and impassibility, attributed to God by thinkers ‐ Aristotle, Philo, Boethius, Augustine, Maimonides, Anselm, Aquinas To say that God is immutable ‐ is to say that God cannot change three arguments attributing immutability to God ‐ argument from God's absolute perfection philosophers, divided over whether God is immutable ‐ generally agreeing on what they mean by immutability unified position ‐ thinking of god as immutable or mutable, impassible or passible an impassibly blissful God ‐ emotionally indifferent to the world, making God seem impersonal, alien, religiously unapproachable if God does not have a body, there is no affective facet to God's evaluations – none comparable to humans
