Book Synopsis Anselm's Argument by : Brian Leftow
Book excerpt: Anselm of Canterbury gave the first "ontological" argument for God's existence as necessary. Yet philosophers have mostly neglected to examine what modal concepts he uses, and what their metaphysical basis is. Brian Leftow sets out Anselm's modal metaphysics, and defends all but one premise of Anselm's best argument for God's existence.
