| Description | Ontological proofs of Gods existence are of a great interest among analytical philosophers of the second half of the 20-th century. St. Anselms proving of God does not seem to be refuted by Kants criticism; here the modern view of the notion of existence (a bit similar to Kantian) is used but the main reasons arose from contemporary logical semantics (and related philosophy) in general. Presen paper, resuming the developement of the notions of existence and of ontological proofs, maps theoretical backgrounds of arguments arguing for or against the validity of ontological proofs (except modal reconstructions). On of the most persuading contribution, namely that of Pavel Tichý (using ideas of his transparent intensional logic) is discussed here in details. |
