Anselm's Argument - Divine Necessity (Hardcover, 1)

Anselm of Canterbury gave the first modal "ontological" argument
for God's existence. Yet, despite its distinct originality,
philosophers have mostly avoided the question of what modal
concepts the argument uses, and whether Anselm's metaphysics
entitles him to use them. Here, Brian Leftow sets out Anselm's
modal metaphysics. He argues that Anselm has an "absolute",
"broadly logical", or "metaphysical" modal concept, and that his
metaphysics provides acceptable truth makers for claims in this
modality. He shows that his modal argument is committed (in effect)
to the Brouwer system of modal logic, and defends the claim that
Brouwer is part of the logic of "absolute" or "metaphysical"
modality. He also defends Anselm's premise that God would exist
with absolute necessity against all extant objections, providing
new arguments in support of it and ultimately defending all but one
premise of Anselm's best argument for God's existence.
