This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video focuses on Rene Descartes' work, The Meditations, specifically on meditation 5, in which Descartes provides his own version of an ontological argument for God's existence.

Hi! in which order of your 3 videos about meditation 5 should I whatch? I'd like to follow the same order of the book

[@GregoryBSadler]

Why don’t you read the text and see what order the topics arise?

[@nguyenphamhoangnguyen3528]

I just want to ask why do you have to divide this video with your another video on Argument for God's Existence? Thanks Sir

[@GregoryBSadler]

What’s it to you?

[@Autobotmatt428]

Was this the Ontological Argument Kant went after?

[@GregoryBSadler]

It's an ontological argument Kant criticized, yes

[@Autobotmatt428]

@@GregoryBSadler I'm just wondering if it was this argument someone else's or Anselm's or was Kant going after Ontological arguments in general?

[@GregoryBSadler]

@@Autobotmatt428 He's going after a type of ontological argument
