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
