Present both the argument from Anselm and the criticism from Kant, about God’s existence. This requires you to present both the argument from Anselm  and the criticism from Kant.  Is the critic’s objection a good philosophical objection?   

(You should have a rough idea what that means

by now. If you do not, you’re in trouble.)

Given your evaluation, should Kant have believed in God’s

existence? Justify your answer. What does your answer mean for the

rest of us? May anyone be justified in believing in God’s existence?

This is a 4 to 5 page paper, though you may certainly write more than
