Goedel's Ontological Proof For God


rkwright

Recommended Posts

I'm interested in this version of the ontological proof for God, but I lack the knowledge to really understand it. First I can't find a version (yet) that really explains what is going on and I tend to only find symbolic versions. I'll post the symbolic version, and if anyone understands it, could you clarify? :blink:

Heh. I'm a fan of the Ontological Proof, and Gödel's in particular always makes me smile.

Does [url="http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/ontological-arguments/#GodOntArg"]this[/url] help you any? Throughout my Philosophy undergrad, I always found the Stanford Encylopedia of Philosopy to be a useful resource. If you have any particular questions, I would be glad to help you out.

Oops. Didn't see that the previous post included a link, already. Ninja'd!
