Ontological Argument
- Ontological =
concerned with being or
existence
- Priori argument = made from
reasoning, understanding
- Anselm (1033-1109) Archbishop of
Canterbury 1093. Proslogion Chap 2-3
- Proves God's
existence by
definition
- 'God is that than which nothing
greater can be conceived'
- 'God is that than which nothing
greater can be conceived'
- Reductio ad absurdum =
makes proof by showing
the opposite can't be true
- Argument 1
- Athiests can define
God even though
they don't believe.
- Something that exists
in reality is greater
than something that
exists in only thought.
- If nothing is greater than God, He
must exist in reality as well as in
thought/definition.
- Athiests can define
God even though
they don't believe.
- Argument 2
- It's impossible to
conceive of God
not existing. God is
a necessary being
- he can't not exist.
- God can't be a contingent (depend on
something else for existence) being as
then he wouldn't be the greatest.
- A necessary being is better
than a contingent one.
- God is greater than any conceivable
thing, so he must be a necessary being
and so must exist.
- It's impossible to
conceive of God
not existing. God is
a necessary being
- he can't not exist.
