Strengths and weaknesses of the Ontological argument

• Strength - deductive

  Deductive argument: based on fact. Therefore a proof
• Weakness - deductive

  Kant's objections - 'necessary existence' is part of what we mean by 'God', does not follow from this that God exists in reality. It is a definition of God but it does not mean that there is really a God. They do not disprove his existence but show that his existence cannot be shown by logic
• Strength - faith

  not meant to be a logical proof but instead a confession of faith. For those with faith, it aligns with that
• Weakness - faith

  Reject the definition of God because it limits him.
