- Bertrand Russell on the Ontological argument
- criticised the ontological argument
- 'the present king of france is bald'
- not true, but does it mean that the statement is true?
- no, as there is no such thing as the 'present king of france'
- not true, but does it mean that the statement is true?
- our use of applying predicates such as bald or not bald is not enough to demonstarte that something exists
- when we start to apply predicates to something whose existence is uncertain, we cant expect the normal rules of linguistic logic to apply
