Assignment task:
Construct a well-organized debate between Anselm and Aquinas and moderated by Ibn Sina in which they argue with each other about the merits and shortcomings of their arguments for the existence of God. First, put yourself in Anselm's shoes and point out what Anselm might see as the one most convincing aspect of Thomas Aquinas' "Five Ways," as well as what Anselm might critique as the single least convincing aspect of Thomas Aquinas' "Five Ways." Next put yourself in Thomas Aquinas' shoes and point out what Thomas Aquinas would find most convincing about Anselm's ontological argument. Finally, point out what Thomas Aquinas might critique as the least convincing aspect of Anselm's ontological argument. Be creative in constructing this debate between these two great medieval Christian thinkers. Construct your debate as a real dialogue between them, moderated by Ibn Sina, a great medieval Muslim thinker. I also expect that you will be clearly informed (with appropriate citations) by your reading of chapter six of Armstrong's The Case for God, "Faith and Reason," as well as by the information provided in the PowerPoint presentation on the Existence of God, together with the external links provided throughout that presentation. You are required to?
