Philosophy discussion 7
Cooper2021Question for Discussion #7 - God and Proof
Compare the efforts made by Anselm and by Thomas Aquinas to argue for the existence of God. (Anselm's proof is on p. 189, Aquinas' on pp. 192-196.) In what ways are they similar and in what ways are they different?
Both Anselm and Aquinas were men of profound faith. Why, then, were they trying to prove that God exists, when they already had faith? Do you believe that any of these arguments could inspire faith in someone who does not already accept a monotheistic religion?
