What is Kant's main criticism of the ontological argument for God's existence?
What will be an ideal response?
Kant argued that the flaw in the argument was its second premise—the idea that existence was a "perfection or any other kind of property." He argued that existence isn't like being just, being omnipotent, and being all-knowing. Although a being can exist without being just, it makes no sense to say that a being is just if it doesn't exist.
