Introduction

Hello,

I just thought I would begin by saying hello to everyone.

I also wanted to see if it is deemed inappropriate to request second opinions in regards to the argumentation paper I have written for a course I am currently taking.

The paper surrounds Gaulino's Perfect Island and St. Anselm's Ontological argument.

Thanks and Best Wishes

I'm just replying because no one has yet. There's nothing in the forum-guidelines against bringing up topic related to your academic course, and it seems to me that it's been done here before, with no problem.

I like the idea of the Scholastics' arguments, though:

1. I don't say "argument", because I don't regard the nature and character of Reality as a matter for assertion, argument, proof, logic or debate.

I prefer to say "discussioni".

2. The Scholastics' discussions aren't the ones that I prefer, though, as I said, I like the spirit and idea of them. They make a lot of sense to me in spirit, though they aren't what I'd say.

You can start a topic on the general issue and take a position for debate, but you can't post your paper for feedback.
