The Meinongian argument is a type of ontological argument[1] or an "a priori argument" that seeks to prove the existence of God.[2] This is through an assertion that there is "a distinction between different categories of existence."[3] The premise of the ontological argument is based on Alexius Meinong's works. Some scholars also associate it with St. Anselm's ontological argument.[4]
