1) THE ONTOLOGICAL ARGUMENT
Anselm defined God "The Great concieveable being"
2 types of existence: in re (reality) and in intellectu (imagination)
He said In re is better in all cases
If God is the Greatest Concievable being he must be better than the imagination.
It is based on 2 assumptions/ opinions:
- His opinion on the definition od God
- His opinion on types of existence and which is better
GAUNILLO- critisised saying that he could imagine the Greatest concieveable island BUT it doesn't exist
