Document Details : Title: Definitions of God and their Logical Consistency Author(s): MCCARTY, Charles Journal: Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses Volume: 99 Issue: 2 Date: 2023 Pages: 353-367 DOI: 10.2143/ETL.99.2.3291850 Abstract : The purpose of this article is to verify the possibility of writing in a formal language the so-called 'ontological' proofs of the existence of God of Anselm and Descartes. To this end, the author constructs a class of models in which the definition can be described in a consistent way. Hence he transcribes the idea of degrees of being into a Boolean algebra. |
