Consider three widely shared claims that have not been discussed vis-à-vis one another. (i) In his Proslogion, Saint Anselm argued that the claim “God exists” is true. (ii) If an intuition that a claim c is a useful a-priori justificatory resource, this can only be because such an intuition is a justification that c is true. And (iii) if an intuition that c is a justification that c is true, c can stand, not only for mathematical or logical claims, but also for controversial philosophical ones, e.g., “God exists”. This essay addresses (i) to (iii) while dialoguing with the literature on Anselm and intuition and articulating an alternative reading of the Proslogion. The alternative reading is that regardless of whether the Proslogion backs up or aims to back up the claim that “God exists” is true, it implicitly articulates the Meaning Argument whose conclusion is that all persons of faith are able to understand that the claim “God exists” is meaningful. This argument, it is argued, is evidence that an intuition that c may be a useful a-priori justificatory resource even if such intuition does not track truth, but merely meaning in being a justification for taking c to be meaningful. It is also supported that an intuition that “God exists” is not a justification that this claim is true. This is an indication that there may be reasons for thinking that the same applies to other controversial philosophical claims.

“Anselm、直觉和上帝的存在”

考虑尚未相互讨论的三个广泛共享的主张。(i) 在他的Proslogion 中,Saint Anselm 认为“上帝存在”的说法是正确的。(ii) 如果直觉认为声明c是有用的先验证明资源,这只能是因为这种直觉是证明c为真的证明。(三)如果一种直觉,Ç是理由使ç是真实的,Ç能站,不仅为数学或逻辑的主张,但也有争议的哲学的,例如,“上帝是存在的”。本文在与有关 Anselm 和直觉的文献进行对话的同时解决了 (i) 到 (iii),并阐明了对 Anselm 和直觉的另一种解读。序言。另一种解读是,无论Proslogion是否支持或旨在支持“上帝存在”这一主张是正确的,它都含蓄地阐明了意义论证,其结论是所有有信仰的人都能够理解“上帝存在”这一主张存在”是有意义的。有人认为,这个论点证明了一种直觉,即c可能是一种有用的先验证明资源,即使这种直觉不能追踪真理,而仅仅是作为采取c的理由的意义有意义。还支持“上帝存在”的直觉并不能证明这种说法是正确的。这表明可能有理由认为这同样适用于其他有争议的哲学主张。
