The+Ontological+Argument

=Main Features=
 * Does not rely on any external evidence or any sense experiences
 * Is called an **a priori** argument, because it occurs **prior** to the need for any experience of the world
 * The basic strategy of this argument is to show that the proposition **'God exists'** is true **by definition.** The idea is that once we properly understand the concept of God, we will see that it **necessarily** includes the idea of existence. This is the same as if you properly understand the meaning of the word **bachelor**, you will also understand that the man in question is **male** and **unmarried** - it just makes up part of the **definition of the word.** (remember looking at this in epistemology - rationalism?)
 * With this argument, anyone who denies the existence of God simply doesn't understand what the word God actually means.
