Higher‐Order Ontological Arguments

Year: 2008

Type: article

Abstract: This paper discusses recent work on higher‐order ontological arguments, including work on arguments due to Gödel, Maydole and Pruss. After setting out a range of these arguments, the paper seeks to highlight the principal difficulties that these kinds of arguments confront. One important aim of the paper is to cast light on Gödel's ontological argument by way of an examination of a range of related higher‐order arguments.
