Book excerpt: In this book, Richard Campbell reformulates Anselm’s proof to show that factual evidence confirmed by modern cosmology validly implies that God exists. Anselm’s proof, which was never the “ontological argument” attributed to him, emerges as engaging with current philosophical issues concerning existence and scientific explanation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anselm's ontological argument is one of the most fascinating, most controversial, and most misunderstood arguments in the entire history of Western thought. By centring the argument firmly in the Neoplatonic tradition within which Anselm was writing, Understanding Anselm's Ontological Argument sheds fresh light and clarity on this enigmatic piece of philosophy. It argues that, far from resting upon a fallacy or illegitimately attempting to define God into existence, Anselm's argument is a powerful and plausible philosophical proof, and deserves to be taken seriously as such. Written to be understandable for specialists and non-specialists alike, Understanding Anselm's Ontological Argument is ideal for scholars and researchers in philosophy of religion and philosophy in the Middle Ages (especially Neoplatonism) as well as for medievalists in general.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Many-Faced Argument presents a compilation of essays on the ontogical argument for the existence of God, covering responses to Anselm's position in the first half, and, in the second half, covering developments of the argument in the context of modern philosophy. Along with contibutions by editors Hick and McGill, other writers include Karl Barth, Andre Hayden, Anselm Stolz, Bertrand Russell, Jerome Shaffer, Gilbert Ryle, Aime Forest, Norman Malcolm, and Charles Hartshorne. While interest in the the ontological argument has arisen from various disciplines -- historical, theological and philosophical -- the purpose of this book is to bring these varied writings together so that scholars and students within each discipline may have contributions from other fields readily available.

Book excerpt: Stating the idea that the idea' and 'reality' of God were the same, Anselm of Bec provoked enormous controversy through his radical approach: rather than appealing to the Bible, church authority or the physical senses, Anselm employed the faculties of his mind to craft a method of logic that paved the way for modern thought. Larry Witham traces humans' modern conceptions of faith and reason back to Anselm's formidable claim. In an attempt to 'prove God', Anselm unleashed a raging medieval debate and this history, biography and philosophy further examines his statements.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this booklet, I will first argue that God is supernatural, and then prove that, given that God is supernatural, God exists. Of course, we normally assume that, just because God is supernatural, we cannot prove God's existence. But we can. In fact, we can prove the existence of God based on the very fact that God is supernatural. And we can do so by natural means (as opposed to supernatural means, e.g., divine revelation). This results in the most solid proof because it does not derive God's existence from natural phenomena (e.g., the cosmos) or from concepts of God (e.g., the greatest that can be conceived), but directly from the fact that God is supernatural. The classical arguments for the existence of God (i.e., cosmological, teleological, and ontological arguments) cannot do this. In fact, they cannot even accommodate a God that is supernatural. So, given that God is supernatural, they cannot really argue for God at all. In the process, I will also prove that, given that God is supernatural, there cannot be more than one God. And I will explain the beauty of God as supernatural: That only a supernatural God truly qualifies as God. That only a supernatural God is truly infinite, supreme, greater-than-the-greatest. That only a supernatural God is truly perfect, i.e., complete and flawless, and that, if we try to turn God into something more than just supernatural, we thereby actually reduce God, turn God into just another natural thing, the worship of which is indeed idolatry. Finally, I cannot but hope that this may help you to attain salvation, divine union, enlightenment, liberation, wisdom, or whatever you call that which sets you free. Free from sin and the consequences of sin, from separation, from craving and ignorance and the pain it causes, from the cycle of birth and death and its suffering, or, to put it in somewhat plainer terms, from the stress that comes from being deceived by appearances.
