The Ontological Proof
Question
In the first notebook you wrote that he opens with a prayer because of the “emptiness of the analytic,” but why is that prayer needed at all if the idea of the ontological proof is that the proof is not derived from premises?
Answer
He wants to show that his faith is not a result of the proof, but exists even prior to it.
