In Defence of a Medieval Ontological Argument? Posted By : Jon Vacher

Error: Lexicon requires PHP5 or better.

Can the ontological argument as presented by Anselm and Scotus be defended against the objections of Aquinas and Ockham?

I shall merge the arguments of Anselm and Scotus together as it shall benefit the conclusion that we have looked at the arguments themselves in their best possible light rather than as pieces drawn from separate individuals. It is my thesis that the ontological argument in question cannot be defended against the objections raised.
