Guanilo and Kant A LOOK AT GUANILO AND KANT’S OBJECTIONS TO THE ONTOLOGICAL ARGUMENT The moment we are born we begin to die. As unpleasant of a statement as that may be, it is indeed a morbid reality. The topic of death usually invokes a number of questions from us as human beings. Questions such as, “Is there a God'” and if there is, “Will I see him when I die'” While to some it may seem natural to simply question the existence of God, who is looked upon as the omnipotent creator of the universe, others have made it a life’s work to argue and dispute the existence of God all together. While the existence of God is certainly a debatable issue in today’s society, it is not a new debate to say the least. Many have long tried to both prove, and disprove the existence of God. One such man was St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109). In the eleventh century, Anselm came up with one of the most famous arguments for the existence of God; this argument was known as the “ontological Argument.” Anselm’s ontological argument states, in modified text, that God possesses argument, ontological, god, existence, objection, while, one, kant, guanilo, perfect, both, intrinsic, arguments, anselm’s, anselm, property, objections, maximums, make, kant’s, island, been, argue, against, simply, questions, perfection, own, number, irrelevant, indeed, however, famous, due, discredit, attempts, valid, two, things, state, since, seem, searching, say, quite, quality, qualities, provide, points, people
