The Ontological Argument

Existential argument The ontological argument is a series of arguments by various philosophers on the existence of God. "Existence of existence" means literally talking about existence, so in this case existence exists in God or exists. The main component of the ontological argument can be seen in Anselm's "Proslogion" (a short piece trying to prove the existence and character of God). The main purpose of his writing of Proslogion is not to directly prove the existence of God, but to show the relationship between faith and reason.

There are many forms that oppose ontological arguments. Some dissent opinions apply only to certain ontological arguments or specific forms of ontological arguments and other dissent opinions are intended to apply to all ontological arguments. Whether there is a general objection to success in ontological debate is a controversial issue. The general criticism of the ontological argument that has appeared so far is not convincing. . - Accept this conclusion, whether due to approval reasons or for any reason. The interpretation of the ontological argument so far created clearly indicates that there is existing premise that the recognition of evaluation has ineffective result or that there is reasonable, reflexive, not enough information is enough

As a conclusion of the existence of God, argument based on the premise that ontological debate is considered not to observe the world, but for some reason. In other words, the ontological debate is only an a priori and necessary prerequisite for analysis, the conclusion of God's existence. The first and most famous ontological debate was proposed by St. Anselm of Canterbury on the 11th. Century C. E. St. Anselm argues that in Proslogion, it leads to the existence of God from the notion of existence, not without a bigger concept. St. Anthom believes that if such existence does not exist, it can be imagined that a larger being, that is, a presence without a bigger existence - can be imagined. But this is ridiculous: there can not be anything bigger than an unthinkable one. So there is a bigger existence, not a god but a presence.
