Description
Ontological Arguments by Graham Oppy provides a comprehensive survey and assessment of these influential philosophical arguments for the existence of God. The book explores their history, from the Middle Ages to the present day, tracing the development of key concepts such as conceivability and possibility. The volume examines the most important topics in the discussion of ontological arguments, including the charge that they beg the question and the nature of existence. By presenting a clear overview of these complex ideas, Oppy shows how ontological arguments emerged and developed over time, and why they remain relevant today. This accessible volume is ideal for anyone interested in philosophy, particularly epistemology and metaphysics.
