Abstract
Description
The best-known version of the ontological argument was formulated by Saint Anselm of Canterbury. With his argument Anselm tried to prove the existence of God. In my paper I restate all the propositions of Anselm’s argument, and also present Gaunilo’s counterarguments. Finally, I raise some problems that further analysis of the argument could benefit from.
