Essay Section 2: (Answer ALL parts of this essay) Worth 26 points. 1. In your own words fully explain Anselm’s Ontological argument for God’s existence step by step. How exactly is it that he thinks he can prove that an ACTUAL God exists from just the mere IDEA of God? Explain the logical thought process of this argument step by step and in detail. (You may bring Descartes’ Ontological Argument into this if you want). Make sure you illustrate your points with your own examples. As part of your explanation, make sure to explain why the Ontological Argument can be used with the idea of God, but NOT with something like the “perfect ice-cream cone”. 2. How does this sort of argument differ from an a posteriori approach like the Cosmological or Teleological arguments? As part of your explanation, explain: Why is it possible to come up with something like the Ontological Argument for God’s existence (but not the Cosmological or Teleological Arg.), if you existed as only a mind with no sense experiences (and a physical world did NOT exist)? 3. Explain in your own words and in detail BOTH of Kant’s criticisms to the Ontological Argument that “Existence is not a predicate”. Make sure you fully explain exactly how these criticisms affect the Ontological argument. Give your own examples.
