Hardback. Some commentators claim that Anselm's writings contain a second independent "modal ontological argument" for God's existence. A. D. Smith contends that although there is a second a priori argument in Anselm, it is not the modal argument. This "other argument" bears a striking resemblance to one that Duns Scotus would later employ. Num Pages: 260 pages, figures. BIC Classification: HPCB; HRAB. Category: (G) General (US: Trade).
