I am cheating a little bit with my word of the week this week - I am not going to write it myself! Instead I'm going to suggest a few places where you can find out more about this unique yet ultimately flawed argument for the existence of God. I am also cheating because I blogged about this back in October when the word of the week was A Priori.
The first place is Dr Andrew Chapman’s 1000-word essay from his blog which you can find here (I featured this blog on a dig deeper post recently). Dr Chapman sets out the basic argument as proposed by Anselm in the twelfth century followed by the criticisms of his contemporary Gaunilo and the eighteenth century philosopher Immanuel Kant.

The other source I am going to suggest is Mr McMillan REvision a vlogger on YouTube who produces really excellent videos on a variety of RS topics. These two are on the Onotlogical Argument:
