| | Anselm of Canterbury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Anselm was proclaimed as a Doctor of the Church in 1720 by Pope Clement XI. | | | Anselm also authored a number of other arguments for the existence of God, based on cosmological and teleological grounds. | | | Anselm represented this to the king; but Henry would not relinquish a privilege possessed by his predecessors, and proposed that the matter should be laid before the Holy See. |

| | Anselm, like Augustine before him, is a believer; he accepts on faith and without the slightest wavering or doubt whatever God has revealed. | | | Anselm does not seem to hold, with Erigena, that we can conclude truly only to what has been revealed, but he will say that when we think we have a good argument which concludes to something contradictory to the faith, we can be sure by that fact alone that our argument is faulty. | | | Anselm's arguments are addressed to the infidel, not with the idea that they may lead him into faith, but rather to silence his objections. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Anselm |
| | Anselm's chief achievement in philosophy was the ontological argument for the existence of God put forth in his "Proslogium". | | | Arriving in Canterbury on the eve of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin, he was hailed by the people as their future archbishop; but he hastened away and would in no wise consent to remain for the festival. | | | Archbishop of Canterbury, Doctor of the Church; born at Aosta a Burgundian town on the confines of Lombardy, died 21 April, 1109. |

| | Anselm of Canterbury [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | Gaunilo, a contemporary monk of Anselm, wrote an attack on Anselm's argument titled "on behalf of the fool." He offers several criticisms, the most well known is a parody on Anselm's argument in which he proves the existence of the greatest possible island. | | | While a boy he wished to be a monk, but his father forbade it. | | | Thought a mild and meek man, Anselm had adopted the Gregorian views of the relation between Church and State, and adhered to them with the steadiness of conscientious conviction. |

| | Anselm’s theological method may be described with the phrase "fides quaerens intellectum," which means faith seeking understanding of itself. | | | Eadmer writes that when Anselm became prior, he felt he had more "liberty" to serve God, and gave up "worldly affairs." He became noted as devout, as one who practiced strict spiritual discipline, and first became known outside of Bec when some of his prayers and meditations were published. | | | Anselm attended the Council of Bari, defending Western position on the procession of the Holy Spirit. |

| | Anselm, in formulating the argument, alluded to the fool (insipiens) who, according to the Psalmist, "hath said in his heart: There is no God." Gaunilo, a monk of the monastery of Marmoutiers, criticised the argument in a work entitled Liber pro Insipiente, | | | While acknowledging the force of these arguments, St. Anselm (as he tells us in the prooemium to the Proslogium) began to inquire whether an argument could not be found which would of itself be sufficient to prove the existence of God. | | | From the idea of God as supremely perfect (quo nihil majus cogitari potest) St. Anselm deduces a whole system of natural theology: God is infinite, eternal, the sum of all perfection, the origin of all created being. |

| | Saint Patrick's Church: Saints of April 21 |
| | Anselm stands out as a link between Saint Augustine of Hippo and Saint Thomas Aquinas and is called the 'father of Scholasticism.' He preferred to defend the faith by intellectual reason rather than scriptural arguments. | | | Thus Anselm, the man who never wished to be archbishop and who refused it at first with clenched hands, secured the freedom of the Church against lawless tyranny and secular obstruction in a despotic age. | | | At the pope's request, Anselm was present at the Council of Bari in 1098 and defended the filioque, the controversial doctrine on the procession of the Holy Spirit. |

| | Quodlibet Online Journal: A Brief Survey of Anselm of Canterbury's Cur Deus Homo? |
| | Anselm's belief that all sin stems from a violation of God's inherent honor forms the backbone of his theory of atonement. | | | Anselm does this by adopting an argument proposed by Augustine which claims since some of the angels had fallen from grace, there must then be at least as many men who are restored, since the original appointed number of individuals who will occupy the "heavenly city" must not waver. | | | According to Anselm, the achievement of this eternal enjoyment was to play a grander part in God's overall design. |

| | Anselm argued that, if he was not a martyr to faith, he was a martyr to justice and to charity. | | | Lanfranc had proposed to remove even Dunstan and Alphege from the calendar, the latter on the grounds that he had not died as a martyr for refusing to deny the Christian faith. | | | During that time Anselm was instrumental in settling the doubts of the Greek bishops of southern Italy about the doctrine of the Filioque. |

| | This is the title of Anselm's famous letter of 1089 AD, giving a theological framework to a belief central to Christianity-that in Jesus Christ, God has become human for the salvation for humanity. | | | Anselm's answer came to be known as "atonement theology." In this section I will outline Anselm's argument, adding to it a few clarifications made by Thomas Aquinas. | | | It is important to recognize that the kind of happiness Anselm is speaking of is complete happiness, the eternal bliss of heaven, not simply a transitory happiness. |

| | Anselm's title "faith seeking understanding" is reminiscent of passages 86 and 95. | | | These passages suggest that Anselm's purpose is to show by strictly philosophical reasons the truth of things he holds by faith: he already believes these things, but wants to show that they are true. | | | But Anselm is a believer, and so were the "certain brothers" for whom he wrote the book. |

| | Anselm - Anselm of Canterbury from FOLDOC |
| | Anselm's combination of Christianity, neoplatonic metaphysics, and Aristotelean logic in the form of dialectical question-and-answer was an important influence in the development scholasticism during the next several centuries. | | | He defended a notion of the relation between philosophy and theology that, like Augustine's, emphasized the methodological priority of faith over reason, since truth is to be achieved only through "fides quaerens intellectum" ("faith seeking understanding"). | | | In the Monologion he described deity as the one most truly good thing, from which all real moral values derive and whose existence is required by the reality of those values. |

| | Medieval Sourcebook: Anselm (1033-1109): Introduction to His Writings |
| | This argument, which has been termed the ontological argument, found an opponent worthy of Anselm in Gaunilo, a monk of Marmoutiers in Touraine. | | | God is a simple being and at the same time eternal, that is, diffused over infinite points of time; he is omnipresent, that is, distributed over all points of space. | | | "The second Augustine, as St. Anselm had been called, starts out from the same principle as the first; he holds that faith precedes all reflection and all discussion concerning religious things. |

| | St Anselm of Canterbury |
| | His application of philosophy to theology, which took religious doctrine as a given but then sought to clarify that doctrine through the use of reason, was typical of the medieval period, and earned him the name “the Father of Scholasticism.” His famous dictum “fides quaerens intellectum” (“faith seeking understanding”) summarises this approach. | | | Quote: “I do not endeavour, O Lord, to penetrate thy sublimity, for in no wise do I compare my understanding with that; but I long to understand in some degree thy truth, which my heart believes and loves. | | | Philosophy of Religion / Reference / Biographies / Historic Figures / St Anselm |

| | COMPARISONS BETWEEN ST. ANSELM OF CANTERBURY AND ST. JULIAN OF NORWICH |
| | Julian is puzzled by the Church's doctrine of reprobation, accepts it without understanding on authority, but is inclined to think that God is grateful to us for enduring it, and that it will be overcome with glorious happiness after death. | | | (vii) For Anselm, divine justice must require satisfaction for sin and cannot simply pass over offenses against itself; according to Julian, God anticipates sin but never blames us for it. | | | (iv) Anselm develops the concept of divine justice, whereas Julian scarcely mentions it. |

| | Anselm's view was that, if God had given Man an intellect, it was practically a duty of Man to use it to explore God's nature. | | | The Correspondent had opened his mouth to continue his argument — something about the circularity of scriptures deriving their authority from God, and vice versa — when he saw it. | | | "Is that so?" Anselm could not hide his pleasure, even though originally his colleagues had had to press him to write down the things that became the Monologium and the Proslogium. |
