Ontological Argument
Anselm's
The man himself:
Archbishop of Canterbury- therefore Theist
From a religious perspective
1033-1109
Starting point
1) Proposed def. of GOD
(quote) 'God is the thought than which nothing greater can be thought
2) Absurd to suggest God does not exist
Even fool of Psalm 14 must see
Was a non-believer
Even suggestion GOD does not exist requires concept of God
Painter:
Has idea of painting for it is painted
Once painted it exists in his thoughts + reality
Gaunilo's objection
Would it arg also prove anything 'perfect' exists?
'the most perfect island'
As it is 'the most perfect' it must exist
If it didn't exist, even the most horrible island in existing would be better
Anslem's response
He wasn't arguing about contingent things (like islands) which are rooted in time and space
He was talking about GOD
quote: (Proslogion) the greatest thing that can be thought
