Excerpt from St. Anselm Proslogium: Monologium an Appendix in Behalf of the Fool by Gaunilon; And Cur Deus Homo, Translated From the Latin
Welch's recent book Anselm and His Work, by its accessi bility, renders any extended biographical notice of Anselm unnec cessary. We append, therefore. Merely a few brief paragraphs from Weber's admirable History of Pizz'losoplzy on Anselm's po sitiou in the world of thought, and we afterwards add (this, at the suggestion of Prof. George M. Duncan, of Yale University) a series of quotations regarding Anselm's most characteristic contribution to philosophy - the ontological argument - from Descartes, Spi noza, Locke, Leibnitz, Kant, Hegel. Dorner, Lotze, and Professor Flint. A bibliography also has been compiled. Thus the work will give full material and indications for the original study of one of the greatest exponents of Christian doctrine.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the philosophical arguments surrounding the existence of God, specifically focusing on the renowned ontological argument presented by Anselm of Canterbury, a prominent figure in medieval philosophy. The author meticulously examines Anselm's proof, dissecting its intricacies and addressing common misunderstandings and misinterpretations that have plagued its analysis for centuries. The author situates Anselm's ontological argument within the broader context of philosophical and theological thought, drawing comparisons with the ideas of other influential thinkers such as Descartes, Spinoza, and Kant. The book explores the fundamental concepts of necessity and contingency, examining their implications for understanding the nature of God and the relationship between essence and existence. Through a rigorous and nuanced analysis, this book challenges conventional interpretations of the ontological argument and offers a fresh perspective on its validity and significance. The author argues that Anselm's proof, when properly understood, sheds light not only on the existence of God but also on the very nature of divinity, revealing profound insights into the relationship between faith and reason, the limits of human knowledge, and the quest for ultimate meaning. Ultimately, this book invites readers to engage with one of the most enduring and thought-provoking arguments in the history of philosophy, offering a deeper understanding of the complexities and implications of the ontological proof for our understanding of God and existence.
