Rethinking the ontological argument : a neoclassical theistic response / Daniel A. Dombrowski. - Cambridge ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2006. - 1 online resource (vii, 172 pages)
Includes bibliographical references (pages 155-165) and index.
Historical background -- Poetry versus the ontological argument: Richard Rorty's challenge -- Deconstructionism and the ontological argument: the case of Mark Taylor -- Is the ontological argument worthless? Graham Oppy's rejection -- Oppy, perfect islands, and existence as a predicate -- Rival concepts of God and the ontological argument: Thomas Morris, Katherin Rogers, and Alvin Plantinga.
"In recent years, the ontological argument and theistic metaphysics have been criticized by philosophers working in both the analytic and continental traditions. Responses to these criticisms have primarily come from philosophers who make use of the traditional, and problematic, concept of God. In this volume, Daniel A. Dombrowski defends the ontological argument against its contemporary critics, but he does so by using a neoclassical or process concept of God, thereby strengthening the case for a contemporary theistic metaphysics.
