Abstract:

St. Thomas, Kant and Crusius are three of the great objectors to the ontological argument. However, the metaphysical assumptions of their criticisms are very different. Therefore, in this paper I propose to analyze the objections of St. Thomas, Kant and Crusius against the ontological argument and to show that the objections of St. Thomas and Crusius are more similar to each other than to that of Kant.

Key words:

Ontological argument, Thomas Aquinas, Kant, Crusius.
