| Oct 21, 2015 at 22:42 | comment | added | Conifold | Closely related to the circle is Descartes's version of the ontological argument in the Fifth meditation:"Certainly, the idea of God, or a supremely perfect being, is one that I find within me just as surely as the idea of any shape or number. And my understanding that it belongs to his nature that he always exists is no less clear and distinct...". This was the target of Kant's famous charge that "belongs to his nature that he always exists" is fallacious because existence is not a predicate. plato.stanford.edu/entries/descartes-ontological | |
