- ONTOLOGICAL ARGUMENT
- ANSELM
- 'aliquid quo nihil maius cogitari posit'
- 1)God's definition is that he's best thing eva, can't imagine better
- 2)Even a fool who denied his existence accepts this definition.
- 1)God's definition is that he's best thing eva, can't imagine better
- 3)It is possible to exist either just in mind or in mind and reality is it not????
- 4) It is better to exist in both yooooo
- SOOOO God exists???
- Nah mate...
- 'I can conceive a perfect island that is real.'
- So if it is greater to exist in both mind and reality then the fool would think island exists...
- GAUNILO
- That notion is ABSURD, so is ur argument Anselm u idiot
- So if it is greater to exist in both mind and reality then the fool would think island exists...
- ANSELM'S RESPONSE: Island is contingent actually mate so can only be conceived as not existing... Also no intrinsic maximum; it can always be bettered unlike my perf God <3
- SOOOO God exists???
- Nah mate...

- DESCARTES
- 'Sup I hav my own argument its not great but hey hoo'
- 1)I can conceive of a perfect being that has all perfections...
- 2)I must assert all the perfections of this supremely perfect being.
- 3)Necessary existence is PERRRF
- 4)Any being that has ever not existed cannot be perfect.
- THUS, supremely perfect being (God) must exist!!!!!!!
- 4)Any being that has ever not existed cannot be perfect.
- 3)Necessary existence is PERRRF
- 2)I must assert all the perfections of this supremely perfect being.
- As existence was the essence of God and predicate to Him, it could no more be separated from the idea of God than three angles could be from a triangle!!!!

- Firstly Descartes, existence isn't a predicate!!
- Saying sumert exists adds no more than to describe something...
- Yeah if you say a cow is black and white then say its 'black and white and exists' doesn't change the cow cos you can see its existence anywayz
- Saying sumert exists adds no more than to describe something...
- All existential propositions are SYNTHETIC NOT analytic.
- We don't know already that God exists... This predicate isn't intrinsic to God, its attached to him.
- Anselm's theory may not necessarily be true in PRACTISE.
- One must first accept existence concept supreme, concept doesn't have to be true in REALITY....
