| Summary: | After years of being regarded as merely one of the oddities of philosophical ingenuity, the ontological argument sustained a remarkable revival in the latter part of the twentieth century, with the realization that two different arguments could be found in St Anselm (whether he realized this or not), one based on the idea that existence itself was a perfection, and one on the idea that necessary existence was. The former had probably been demolished by Kant; the latter acquired a new lease of life in the hands of thinkers like Malcolm, Plantinga, and Hartshorne. |
