A patch to the possibility part of Gödel’s Ontological Proof

Kurt Gödel’s version of the Ontological Proof derives rather than assumes the crucial (yet controversial) Possibility Claim, that is, the claim that it is possible that somethingGod-like exists. Gödel’s derivation starts oš with a proof of the Possible Instantiation of the Positive, that is, the principle that, if a property is positive, it is possible that there exists something that has that property. I argue that Gödel’s proof of this principle relies on some implausible axiological assumptions. Nevertheless, I present a proof of the Possible Instantiation of the Positive which only relies on plausible axiological principles. Nonetheless, Gödel’s derivation of the Possibility Claim also needs a substantial axiological assumption, which is still open to doubt.

哥德尔本体论证明的可能性部分的补丁

库尔特·哥德尔版本的本体论证明推导出而不是假设关键的(但有争议的)可能性主张,即类似上帝的东西可能存在的主张。哥德尔的推导开始于?? 用 Positive 的可能实例化的证明,也就是说,如果一个属性是正的,则可能存在具有该属性的东西的原则。我认为哥德尔对这一原则的证明依赖于一些难以置信的价值论假设。尽管如此,我还是提出了一个证明可能实例化的实证,它仅依赖于合理的价值论原则。尽管如此,哥德尔对可能性主张的推导也需要一个实质性的价值论假设,这仍然值得怀疑。
