Document Summary
These questions are intended to get you to think about what you have read and simulate the interaction we would have in class discussion. Please provide a reasonable-sized paragraph for each one and state your views clearly. I will reply to two of your answers with possible objections to your position or other points you could consider. Your responses will be due by midnight on. Sunday: anselm"s argument assumes that whenever we think of x, x exists in our understanding, or in other words, in our mind. One way of objecting to anselm"s argument is to reject this way of speaking. We might concede that when we think of bigfoot, an idea of bigfoot exists in our minds. But we should not confuse our idea of bigfoot, which exists in the mind, with bigfoot himself, which does not exist at all. Some versions of the ontological argument do without this assumption.
