This is a lecture video about the fifth Meditation on First Philosophy, published in 1641, by Rene Descartes. In this meditation Descartes offers his own version of the Ontological Argument for the Existence of God. The argument is explained by comparing it to a similar argument that we can construct involving triangles. I also discuss some potential objections that one might raise to the ontological argument.

Here are the videos summarizing the earlier meditations.
