Ontological Argument Critique

The existence of God is a controversial philosophical argument, and since the 'Enlightenment' era philosophers have been mystified. However, many of the various discussions presented and analyzed do not fully prove the existence of God. In order to move forward, we need to study the argument of failure in order not to repeat the failure. One of the arguments is an ontological argument. This discussion was first recorded by St. Anslem (1033-1109). Descartes adapted to this argument with his fifth meditation of "Contemplation of First Philosophy". First of all whenever thinking about a triangle, he decided that there must be certain attributes to make that shape a triangle.

Criticism of the ontological argument began with Gauniro at the same time as St. Anselm. Perhaps the most famous criticism of ontological debate is due to Emmanuel Kant in his criticism of pure reason. Most notably, Kant argues that ontological arguments are at risk by implicit assumptions that "existence" is a predicate. But as Bertrand Russell said, it is easy to be confident that ontological arguments are less accurate than what they are doing. This will help explain why ontological discussions have captivated philosophers for nearly 1000 years.

Some recent discussions on ontological arguments were placed on more weathering of discussion about God 's existence. Thus, for example, ontological arguments have been widely discussed in Everitt 2004, Sobel 2004, and Oppy 2006. The study of ontological theory by Sobel is typical. He provides a chapter on "classical ontological argument": criticisms of Anselm, Descartes, Spinoza and Kant's ontological argument; chapters on "Modern modal ontology argument": Hartshorne, Malcolm and Plantinga ; There is also a chapter on Gödel's ontological argument. His analysis is very cautious and uses many tools for modern philosophical logic.

Ontological discussion is a philosophical argument on the existence of God using ontology. Many discussions are categorized into ontology categories and they tend to include discussion about the state or existence of the existence. More specifically, ontological discussions tend to begin with the a priori theory of cosmic organizations. If the organizational structure is true, that argument will provide reasons why God must exist. The first ontological argument in the West Christian tradition was proposed by Canterbury's national anthem in his 1078 Proslogion. Anselm defines God as "there is nothing more to think" and believes that this existence must exist in the mind even in the minds of those who deny the existence of God. He suggested that if there is the greatest possible presence in the heart, it must also exist in reality. If it exists only in the mind, a larger presence must be possible - the existence that exists in the thought and the reality
