A modified Meditation: exploring a grounding modal ontological argument

Religious Studies: An International Journal for the Philosophy of Religion November 3, 2021 Stephen Kearns 2 citations

Abstract I present an argument for God's existence based on the idea that the possibility of God requires the existence of God as a ground. After setting this argument out, I compare it to other arguments for God, concentrating on an argument from Descartes's Third Meditation. I then address various objections and conclude by setting out a non-theistic version of the argument.
