Recent Publications - July 2010

Articles

Sara L. Uckelman, 'The Ontological Argument and Russell's Antinomy' in Logic and Logical Philosophy, 18 (2010) 309-312.

Abstract. In this short note we respond to the claim made by Christopher Viger that Anselm’s so-called ontological argument falls prey to Russell’s paradox. We show that Viger’s argument is based on a flawed premise and hence does not in fact demonstrate what he claims it demonstrates.
