Ayaan Hirsi Ali on The ontological argument
Hirsi Ali has not addressed the ontological argument; her faith is grounded in existential need and civilisational reasoning, not a priori proofs.
The ontological argument — the attempt to prove God's existence from the concept of a maximally great being — lies entirely outside Hirsi Ali's intellectual territory. She has never been a philosopher of religion in the academic sense, and the a priori reasoning of Anselm and Plantinga does not feature in her public work.
Her path to Christianity bypassed the traditional arguments for God's existence entirely. She did not become a Christian because she was persuaded by logical proofs but because she experienced a crisis of meaning and came to believe that Western civilisation needs a spiritual foundation. The ontological argument's abstract logic has no apparent connection to her conversion narrative.
Attempting to reconstruct her position on the ontological argument would be pure speculation. It is reasonable to assume she finds such arguments either uncompelling or irrelevant to the practical and existential questions that actually drove her religious journey.
“The only credible answer to the question of how to create a just and humane society lies in the Judeo-Christian tradition.”
