Ontological (reason)

Question 1

What are the lines of argument for
‘Anselms ontological argument is not persuasive’

Answer 1

• a priori vs a posteriori
• Gaunilos criticisms
• Kant and Russell’s criticisms

Question 2

Alternative view for a priori vs aposteriori
(HINT: ontological is a priori, arguing anselms argument is wrong)

Answer 2

• a priori relys on reason and logic so do not use senses
  -concepts can be defined a priori and do not rely on evidence that can be interpreted in differnt ways e.g ontological defines concept of god in a way everyone can agree with

Question 3

More successful view for a priori vs a posteriori

Answer 3

-relys on empirical evidence and observations
- they start from evidence available then reach conclusion, how can we start with a concept such as god that we do not know
