Buch: What Is Lonergan Up to in Insight?

Titel: What Is Lonergan Up to in Insight?

Stichwort: Gott, Existenz, Gottesbeweis, Anselm, Descartes

Kurzinhalt: Ontologischer Gottesbeweis, begrenzte Idee des Unbegrenzten, Notwenddigkeit des Urteils im Argument

Textausschnitt: () If the human being grasped the unlimited insight directly, then the existence of God would be self-evident: ... As it is, the human being grasps the unlimited insight only indirectly, by analogy by an extrapolation.

Again the influence of cognitional theory is significant here. If one holds with Descartes that the criterion of truth is the clear and distinct idea, then the clear and distinct idea of God implies the existence of God.
