Religious Studies: An International Journal for the Philosophy of Religion November 3, 2021 Stephen Kearns 2 citations
The article presents an argument for God's existence grounded in the idea that the mere possibility of God necessitates God's actual existence as a foundation. After outlining this argument, the author compares it to other arguments for God, particularly one from Descartes's Third Meditation. Various objections are addressed, and the article concludes by offering a non-theistic version of the argument, showing its broader philosophical relevance.
