Please join these women and this liberal to plea for this Kantian theme- liberty and dignity for all. This is a categorical imperative, no mere hypothetical one! This is what we should do , not perhaps what me might do.
Tis commentary is my minute manner of helping this grand, universal cause. Please help get this message out!

Hume!

Check out this website I found at lambjume.blogspot.com

Please, do give your take on all this!

Ontological woo!

Yes, Kant eviscerates the silly ontological argument as noted. Definitions  not based on evidence lead nowhere!
   Aquinas'  ontological degrees of perfection argument ranks no better. He claims that God would be the Perfect Being due to His having all the degrees of a quality. What he achieves is to reify the continuum of degrees of qualities as God! Reification cannot instantiate Him.
    Michael Scriven in his "Primary Philosophy," lets readers decide for themselves how to refute the silly argument.
   As one philosopher says, ti' s fun to dissect theist arguments, and I add, mental exercise!http://humetoday.blogspot.com
