Resumen:
In this presentation I will develop a criticism of Kant´s critique of the ontological argument through the explicitation of the ontological and epistemological presuppositions that seem to be at the base of Kant´s critique. Kant´s criticism of the ontological argument poses two problems whose precise meaning must be analyzed in detail, namely: the problem of existence as extrinsic to conceptual content, and the problem of knowing to which extent this particular way of understanding existence can be used against the ontological argument, i.e. against the argument that pretends to derive the existence of the object by means of the analysis of the meaning or mental content of its concept.
