The Ontological Argument is possibly one of the most brought up

And disputed religious arguments of all of philosophy

Well the ontological argument was first thought up

Over the kind of things that saints think of

That everyone knows that God is a being so great

In which no greater being can be thought of

However Anselm concludes that God must exist in reality

Then you would not be thinking of a being

Because it is greater to exist in reality than in the mind

Basically Anselm is presenting the argument like this

It is greater to exist in reality than just in the mind

Therefore if you think of God he must exist in reality

Was thought to the ultimate proof for God

However since that time many philosophers have come along

And have moved the argument onto the philosophical scrap heap

One of the main arguments against Anselm's ontological argument

Who argues that God's essence can not be known

Resulting in Anselm's argument being rendered useless

Could be used to prove his idea of a perfect island.

In which no greater island can be thought of

It is greater for the island to exist in reality than the mind

Therefore, if I am thinking of this island

Otherwise I am not thinking of my perfect island

These arguments thus suggest that maybe Anselm

Should have been questioning the existence of his brain
