Notes

  1. The Many-Faced Argument (ed. Hick and McGill, Macmillan 1967). A very large volume, edited by Miroslaw Szatkowski, appeared in 2013 (Ontological Proofs Today, Ontos Verlag). That includes much advanced work, but is expensive and much less accessible than the volume under review.

  2. See especially p. 57.

  3. “The Ontological Argument as Cartesian Therapy,” Canadian Journal of Philosophy 35(4), pp. 521–562.

  4. “Ontological Arguments” in Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy; https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/ontological-arguments/, accessed May 22, 2019.

  5. Lewis, David, "Anselm and Actuality," Nous volume 4, number 2 (1970), pp. 175–188.

  6. The Nature of Necessity (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1974), p. 221.

  7. See his “Three Versions of the Ontological Argument” in Ontological Proofs Today, Miroslaw Szatkowski (editor), Ontos Verlag 2012, pp. 143–162.

  8. NB: Descartes gives such a restriction, but this involves “clear and distinct perception” by the meditator.
