The first philosopher to propose an ontological argument is still up for debate. Some think that Greek philosophers, such as Plato, first argued it. The mainstream view is that the ontological argument was first developed by St. Anselm. Others believe that the Islamic philosopher Avicenna was the first, and may others view the philosopher Descartes as being the first.
