Does God actually exist? Who is God? These are questions that intrigue each and every human and strikes at the very heart of human existence. The question of God to have ever been in or being in existence has beleaguered humankind from the time they began to think logically. A majority of philosophers claim that there may be God or numerous God’s whereas some say there may be nothing at all. Humans have only been around for so long that there are only a few fragments of history left to study whether or not God really exists. There is a lack of knowledge or limited knowledge regarding this issue due to which no one can prove or be sure of God being in existence.
The very perception of an absolute perfect being means God has to be in existence, this is the usual ontological, or a priori, argument. St. Anselm was the first person to articulate this argument in the 10th century and argued that because of the idea that people have of an absolute perfect being, which he defined as "that than which nothing greater can be conceived" , it ought to exist. Pros logion, one of St. Anselm’s essays he interpreted God as an actuality who retains all possible perfection. But if this existence "existed" simply as an idea in our cognizance, then it wouldn’t be as perfect as, if it actually existed, something that would thus oppose our classification of God, a being who is thought to be absolutely perfect. Therefore, God must exist. Gaunilo of Marmoutiers tore apart Anselm's idea by requesting people to perceive an island "more excellent" than any other island, enlightening the faults in this kind of argumentation. This type of a priori argument i.e. pure deduction is wholly imperfect, often superfluous, and completely fails to take empirical proof ...

...ist or not. First Definition: God as maker of the entire universe in which we live. Second: Empirical science detects that which is within this universe. We have some kind of a hint about the things that might be beyond it (other cosmoses in cosmology) but we have no straight explanations of such effects. Now: If God is the creator of this universe, it suggests that God had to be reality or in existence before this universe. Overall Relativeness tells us that time and space are related or the same exact thing. As experimental science detects this universe, it does not have indication of whatsoever prevailing or not prevailing external to this universe. Worth stating is that this is a "deistic" argument in the sagacity that it would incline to cast hesitation on the notion of an ethically flawless, individual, domineering (overruling in history of mankind, etc.) god.

    The Ontological Argument, which argues from a definition of God’s being to his existence, is the first type of argument we are going to examine. Since this argument was founded by Saint Anslem, we will be examining his writings. Saint Anslem starts by defining God as an all-perfect being, or rather as a being containing all conceivable perfections. Now if in addition of possessing all conceivable perfections t...

  • An Examination of the Second Meditation of Descartes

    1585 Words  | 4 Pages

    Baird and Kaufmann, the editors of our text, explain in their outline of Descartes' epistemology that the method by which the thinker carried out his philosophical work involved first discovering and being sure of a certainty, and then, from that certainty, reasoning what else it meant one could be sure of. He would admit nothing without being absolutely satisfied on his own (i.e., without being told so by others) that it was incontrovertible truth. This system was unique, according to the editors, in part because Descartes was not afraid to face doubt. Despite the fact that it was precisely doubt of which he was endeavoring to rid himself, he nonetheless allowed it the full reign it deserved and demanded over his intellectual labors. "Although uncertainty and doubt were the enemies," say Baird and Kaufmann (p.16), "Descartes hit upon the idea of using doubt as a tool or as a weapon. . . . He would use doubt as an acid to pour over every 'truth' to see if there was anything that could not be dissolved . . . ." This test, they explain, resulted for Descartes in the conclusion that, if he doubted everything in the world there was to doubt, it was still then certain that he was doubting; further, that in order to doubt, he had to exist. His own existence, therefore, was the first truth he could admit to with certainty, and it became the basis for the remainder of his epistemology.

  • Descartes' Proof of the Existence of God in Meditation Three

    1027 Words  | 3 Pages

    This paper is intended to explain and evaluate Descartes' proof for the existence of god in Meditation Three. It shall show the weaknesses in the proof, but also give credit to the strengths in his proof. It will give a background of what Descartes has already accepted as what he truly knows. The paper will also state Descartes two major points for the existence of God and why the points can easily be proven false. The paper will also show that if a God does exist that God can in fact be an evil deceiver. The paper will also show that the idea of a perfect being cannot be conceived by an imperfect being.

    Descartes often referred to as the “Father of Modern Philosophy” acquired his status by methods of reasoning to attain knowledge through one of his most influential philosophical writings Meditations on First Philosophy. One of the most pronounced and skeptical pieces from the mediations is Meditation III: “Of God: that He exist” where he tries to prove the existence of God, and his existence through God. I will be examining Descartes’ proof through its premises and conclusion as well as explain my reasoning for agreeing with the argument on the existence of God.

  • An Analysis Of Descartes And The Existence Of God

    What if he/she doesn’t believe in God or in his attributes? If we were to follow Descartes reasoning we could say that if we don’t have any clear and distinct idea of God then he must not exist. Secondly, how can we guarantee that this “God” isn’t merely a figment of our imagination. Descartes mentions that we have such a powerful mind that sometimes it is hard to demarcate dreams from real life? What if we are just dreaming? We can’t see or physically touch God so how can we even know he exists? Thirdly, one could argue that if God was so benevolent and omniscient why would he give us the faculty of will. If God knows everything then why does he give us the free will to make incorrect choices? Additionally, God is seen as someone who is perfect and the epitome of Goodness then why is he letting all this bloodshed and war continue in the world? Fourthly, Descartes’ second proof is also based of the ideology that existence is perfection. How can existence be a perfection? I exist but I am not a perfect human being. Correspondingly, in the second proof Descartes is basically saying that existence is a property of a thing or object. But existence can’t be a property, existence has to be an idea presupposed to the thing. We should already know it exists. Thus, the idea that God exists cannot be considered a quality in the same way as omniscience and

  • Descartes Skeptical Argument In Meditation

    823 Words  | 2 Pages

    Philosophers look for knowledge and seek to know what they do not know. For knowledge to be accepted as a fact, it has to be true, believable and justifiable. Skeptical argument is the one that is doubtful and subjected to questioning. Descartes’ skeptical argument in Meditation I is the dream argument and evil demand argument. The former explains the unreliability of people’s senses and provides access to internal resemblance to the physical world. It is the inner representation of the world. This means that basic beliefs are not true when people dream as the physical appearance of something is not equally the same in dreams and in reality.The thing one is dreaming about may lack some qualities in the physical arena but possess them in a

  • Essay On The Meditations By Descartes

    1169 Words  | 3 Pages

    Our mind and our body are undoubtedly separate from each other. A mind can survive without a body, and, likewise, a body is just house for the mind. In The Meditations, Descartes describes this concept in his dualist theory in the second of multiple Meditations. We can reach this conclusion by first understanding that the mind can survive any destruction of the body, and then realizing that you are identical to your mind and not your body. In other words, you are your thoughts and experiences – not your physical body. Finally, you cannot doubt your own existence, because the act of doubting is, itself, and act of thinking, and to think is to exist as a “thinking thing,” or Res Cogitans.

    It is controversial if existence is a general class that can be categorized into existence in the mind and existence in reality or if there are multiple levels of existence. It is also controversial that there are only two categories of existence, if at all it can be categorized. Hence, for a supreme being, for which, as suggested by Thomas Aquinas, it is not very clear whether humans can perceive all of its qualities, a conclusion that God does not solely exists in the mind, should not lead to a conclusion that it exists in

  • Descartes Sixth Meditation

    1138 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the Sixth Meditation, Descartes makes a point that there is a distinction between mind and body. It is in Meditation Two when Descartes believes he has shown the mind to be better known than the body. In Meditation Six, however, he goes on to claim that, as he knows his mind and knows clearly and distinctly that its essence consists purely of thought. Also, that bodies' essences consist purely of extension, and that he can conceive of his mind and body as existing separately. By the power of God, anything that can be clearly and distinctly conceived of as existing separately from something else can be created as existing separately. However, Descartes claims that the mind and body have been created separated without good reason. This point is not shown clearly, and further, although I can conceive of my own mind existing independently of my body, it does not necessarily exist as so.

    The existence of God is quite controversial issue. God has different names in the world, and a lot of people, strongly believe in his existence. While, on the other hand, there are also people who don’t believe in his existence. In their discussion entitled “Does God Exist?” William Lane Craig, who is the supporter of the idea of existence of God, debates with Austin Dacey, who is an atheist, on the idea of existence of God. They provide the strong arguments and their debates are quite interesting, and innovative (not similar to those arguments, we usually read about in book). These are the fresh views on the question of existence and non-existence of God.

  • Descartes' First Meditation

    1330 Words  | 3 Pages

    Rene Descartes decision to shatter the molds of traditional thinking is still talked about today. He is regarded as an influential abstract thinker; and some of his main ideas are still talked about by philosophers all over the world. While he wrote the "Meditations", he secluded himself from the outside world for a length of time, basically tore up his conventional thinking; and tried to come to some conclusion as to what was actually true and existing. In order to show that the sciences rest on firm foundations and that these foundations lay in the mind and not the senses, Descartes must begin by bringing into doubt all the beliefs that come to him by the senses. This is done in the first of six different steps that he named "Meditations" because of the state of mind he was in while he was contemplating all these different ideas. His six meditations are "One:Concerning those things that can be called into doubt", "Two:Concerning the Nature of the Human mind: that it is better known than the Body", "Three: Concerning God, that he exists", "Four: Concerning the True and the False", "Five: Concerning the Essence of Material things, and again concerning God, that he exists" and finally "Six: Concerning the Existence of Material things, and the real distinction between Mind and Body". Although all of these meditations are relevant and necessary to understand the complete work as a whole, the focus of this paper will be the first meditation.

    The concept of God can be a difficult one to grasp especially in today's world - a world in which anyone that believes in God is trying to define exactly what God is. To even attempt to grasp such a concept, one must first recognize his own beliefs in respect to the following questions: Is God our creator? Is God omnipotent (all-powerful) or omniscient (all-knowing) or both? Does God care? Is God with us? Does God interfere with life on earth? These questions should be asked and carefully answered if one should truly wish to identify his specific beliefs in God's existence and persistence.

    In Descartes’ meditations, Descartes begins what Bernard Williams has called the project of ‘pure enquiry’ to discover an indubitable premise or foundation to base his knowledge on, by subjecting everything to a kind of scepticism now known as Cartesian doubt. This is known as foundationalism, where a philosopher basis all epistemological knowledge on an indubitable premise.
