Plantinga defended this man by saying that some qualities, such as knowledge, have "intrinsicmaxima" while others, such as number of palm trees, do not.
Plantinga defended this man by saying that some qualities, such as knowledge, have "intrinsicmaxima" while others, such as number of palm trees, do not. This man likened the weakness ofhuman understanding to "inaccessible light" and based several claims on a figure from Psalms whospeaks in his heart, the Fool. This thinker adapted Augustine for his motto "faith seekingunderstanding" and was criticized by Gaunilo's "lost island" argument. He wrote in 1078 that it ismore perfect to (*) exist in reality than merely in the mind, so the most perfect being must really exist. For10 points, name this Archbishop of Canterbury whose Proslogion proposed the ontological argument forGod's existence.
