Don't worry, the argument is essentially the same. It's just a semantic difference, really. Descartes' is a reformulation of Anselm's.
The only real difference is some of the background assumptions (innate ideas, clear and distinct ideas) which are evaluative points.
As long as you got the point across that God's nature as the supremely perfect being necessitates his existence, as existence is a perfection, you'll probably be fine.

You'll only be screwed if you actually wrote about Anselm!


Haha no, I didn't literally write about Anselm. It was more about how God is perfect, and Descartes thinks non-existence is an imperfection. I'm a bit annoyed though, 'cause I don't think I actually wrote the word "necessarily", and that was probably on the mark scheme. And I forgot all the examples of you can't have a mountain without a valley etc. Still, hopefully the second question made up for it.

I'm doing Political Philosophy and Philosophy of Religion for Phil 3 and Nietzsche for Phil 4. I'm really hoping for an A*.


Hey I was wondering if you had any Political Philosophy or Nietzsche resources that you are willing to share :smile:
Please, desperate for some practical/applied ethics notes. Thanks!
