into existence
Kant's view of existence ANS:existence is synthetic not analytic
Barth's view of Anselm ANS:Anselm had a religious experience
Strengths of Ontological argument ANS:deductive so not based on probability, independent of human
observation, if there is a God Anselm's definition makes sense
Weaknesses of Ontological argument ANS:Kant's challenges suggest do not work,
Ontological argument as proof ANS:deductive means it isnt merely on probability, faith-based
acceptance,some say intended as assurance
Ontological argument as insufficient proof ANS:proves if God exists he exists necessarily, confirmation
not proof
Value of ontological argument for faith ANS:works as confirmation, shows preheld beliefs as rational,
reasoned 'belief that' supports 'belief in'
