Abstract:

Aselem's ontological proof on God's existence had suffered a lot of criticisms since its presentation. Among the most prominent criticisms in the history of western philosophy are those from Thomas Aquinas and Kant. Aquinas regarded the proof as a priori argument, and he held that it could not prove the evidence of God's existence with the exception that people started from the post-priori experiences. While Kant cirticized this proof, for he believed that the post-priori argument also could not prove the evidence of God's existence. He named the priori argument as the ontological argument. Kant focused his criticism on the idea of "God in the end is not a real predicate". He thought that the proof starting from the post-priori experiences—cosmological and theological
argument—could not demonstrate the proposition of God's existence. Because they were still the disguised ontological proofs. As a result, Kant became the first man in the history of pilosophy to hit the key of the ontological argument and shaked the proof.
