What is your answer?


The following is an objection of Kant to the ontological argument:

    { 1 } - Existence is contained in the idea of God.
    { 2 } - Thinking of a being as merely possible is thinking its existence.
    { 3 } - The concept of the Ens realissimum includes existence.
    { 4 } - Existence is a predicate.
    { 5 } - it is nonsense to say that the idea of a merely possible necessary being is self-contradictory.
