Karen Armstrong Quote
Descartes’s argument turns out to be a reworking of Anselm’s Ontological Proof. When we doubt, the limitations and finite nature of the ego are revealed. Yet we could not arrive at the idea of imperfection if we did not have a prior conception of perfection. Like Anselm, Descartes concluded that a perfection that did not exist would be a contradiction in terms.
