Keywords: ontological argument | concept of existence | I. Kant | P. Tichý | semantics of possible worlds
ABSTRACT
There are two important facts that prevent the success of the so called "ontological argument": 1) the use of the concept of existence as a real predicate and 2) the confusion of de re and de dicto modalities. The article considers a way to overcome the former problem proposed by the Czech logician Pavel Tichý.
