This document features all important material related to the Ontological Argument according to the OCR Religious Studies specification - both formulations of the Ontological Argument found in Anselm’s Proslogion and its supporting argument as posed by Descartes, as well as the criticisms of contemporary theologians like Gaunilo and later philsosophers like Kant and Hume. It also features key definitions and explanations of concepts like a priori and deductive arguments. Hopefully you find this helpful!

Frequently asked questions

Can't I just make this for free with AI?

AI tools give you vast, general information. They don't know your course, your professor, or what actually gets asked in your exam. This document was written by a fellow student who understood the nuances of exactly this course and passed it. You get focused, curated study material, not a generic starting point you still have to rework.

Is this document still relevant for my course?

Every document shows the academic year, the linked textbook, and the institution, so you can check upfront whether it matches your course. Take a look at the free preview too to see if it fits.

What if the document isn't what I hoped?

No worries! If you change your mind within 14 days of purchase and have not downloaded the document yet, you can swap it for a different one of equal value. Your purchase is completely risk-free.
