In recent years, the ontological argument and theistic metaphysics
have been criticised by philosophers working in both the analytic
and continental traditions. Responses to these criticisms have
primarily come from philosophers who make use of the traditional,
and problematic, concept of God. In this 2006 volume, Daniel A.
Dombrowski defends the ontological argument against its
contemporary critics, but he does so by using a neoclassical or
process concept of God, thereby strengthening the case for a
contemporary theistic metaphysics. Relying on the thought of
Charles Hartshorne, he builds on Hartshorne's crucial distinction
between divine existence and divine actuality, which enables
neoclassical defenders of the ontological argument to avoid the
familiar criticism that the argument moves illegitimately from an
abstract concept to concrete reality. His argument, thus, avoids
the problems inherent in the traditional concept of God as static.
