主持人：本期节目探讨了对上帝概念的两种中世纪解读。首先，节目主持人回顾了先前讨论过的多种关于上帝的哲学观点，指出对上帝的理解并非一成不变，而应随着思考的深入不断发展演变。接着，节目重点介绍了安瑟伦的本体论证，并以辩证的方式阐述了该论证的逻辑过程和核心思想。安瑟伦的本体论证试图通过定义上帝为‘其大于者不可想像之物’来证明上帝的存在，认为如果上帝只存在于人的想象中，那么人们还可以想象上帝同时存在于现实中，这将比只存在于想象中更为伟大，从而得出上帝必然存在于现实中的结论。节目主持人还介绍了康德和加伊洛对安瑟伦本体论证的批评，指出该论证存在逻辑漏洞，例如将存在视为一种属性等。最后，节目探讨了梅蒙尼德的观点，他认为《托拉》中对上帝的描述是比喻性的，而非字面意义上的。梅蒙尼德主张消极神学，认为我们无法描述上帝是什么，只能描述上帝不是什么。他认为，对上帝的理解应该基于对上帝行为的观察和推断，而非对上帝属性的定义。

Shownotes Transcript

On this episode of the podcast, we discuss the concept of God from a philosophical perspective. We first broaden our definition of God by recalling the multitude of ways that the philosophers we’ve already studied have approached the subject. Next, we examine St. Anselm’s famous “Ontological Argument” in proof of God’s existence, which is strangely reminiscent of a tongue twister Ron Burgundy might use to prepare for his evening newscast. Finally, we learn why Moses Maimonides would say that the first rule of God is, “You do not talk about God.” Or at least, “You do not talk about what God is, only what he isn’t.” All this and more on the latest episode of Philosophize This!
