	Anselm of Canterbury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anselm was born in the city of Aosta in the Kingdom of Burgundy.
		Anselm was received with high honour by Urban, and at a great council held at Bari, he was put forward to defend the doctrine of the procession of the Holy Ghost against the representatives of the Greek Church.
		Anselm was the first Christian theologian to develop a detailed atonement theory in the history of Western theology.

	Ontological argument - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anselm framed the argument as a reductio ad absurdum wherein he tried to show that the assumption that God does not exist leads to a logical contradiction.
		One of the earliest recorded objections to Anselm's argument was raised by one of Anselm's contemporaries, Gaunilo.
		Obviously Anselm thought this argument was valid and persuasive, and it still has occasional defenders, but many, perhaps most, contemporary philosophers believe that the ontological argument, at least as Anselm articulated it, does not stand up to strict logical scrutiny.

	Anselm of Canterbury [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Anselm wished to carry his case to Rome, and in 1097, with much difficulty, obtained permission from the king to go.
		As a metaphysician Anselm was a realist, and one of his earliest works, De fide Trinitatis, was an attack on the doctrine of the Trinity as expounded by the nominalist Roscelin.
		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.

		Anselm momentarily overcame the king's intransigence and took the pallium from Urban's legate.
		Henry I of England recalled Anselm, who proved valuable in arranging Henry's marriage to Matilda of Scotland and in gaining the support of the barons for the king in his dispute with Robert of Normandy.
		Anselm eventually won (1107) Henry's agreement to surrender the right of investiture in exchange for homage from church revenues : a compromise that strengthened papal authority in the English church.

	The Ontological Argument
		Anselm starts with premises that do not depend on experience for their justification and then proceeds by purely logical means to the conclusion that God exists.
		Anselm apparently proposes to treat the understanding or the mind as if it were a place, and to speak of things existing "in the understanding".
		Anselm's point is that in general there is a difference between saying that something exists in my understanding and saying that I understand (or believe) it to exist.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Anselm
		Anselm would not take the pallium from the King's hand; but in a solemn service at Canterbury on 10 June, 1095 it was laid on the altar by the legate, whence Anselm took it.
		It was thought by some that this was a bar to marriage, but Anselm had the case considered in a council at Lambeth where the royal maiden's liberty was fully established, and the Archbishop himself gave his blessing to the marriage.
		Anselm's chief achievement in philosophy was the ontological argument for the existence of God put forth in his "Proslogium".

	Saint Anselm
		In 1093 Anselm was enthroned as Archbishop of Canterbury.
		Anselm was understandably reluctant to undertake the primacy of the Church of England under a ruler as ruthless and venal as William, and his tenure as Archbishop proved to be as turbulent and vexatious as he must have feared.
		Anselm claims that we are still free, because we continue to be such that if we had rectitude of will, we could preserve it for its own sake; but we cannot exercise our freedom, since we no longer have the rectitude of will to preserve.

		Anselm wrote to the pope to thank him for the pall he had sent him by that legate, complaining of the affliction in which he lived under a burden too heavy for him to bear, and regretting the tranquillity of his solitude which he had lost..
		Anselm replied, that he was not afraid of suffering, or even losing his life in the cause of God; but that he saw there was nothing to be done in a country where justice was so overruled as it was in England.
		Anselm spoke to the point with so much learning, judgment, and penetration, that he silenced the Greeks, and gave such a general satisfaction, that all present joined in pronouncing anathema against those that should afterwards deny the procession of the Holy Ghost from both the Father and the Son.

	St. Anselm
		Anselm profited so well by the lessons of this master that he became his most familiar disciple and shared in the work of teaching.
		Anselm, however, firmly refused the honour, whereupon another scene took place still more strange than that which occurred when he was elected abbot.
		As if these trials were not enough Anselm had to bear the reproaches of some of the monks of Bec who were loath to lose him; in his letters he is at pains to show that he did not desire the office.

	Quodlibet Online Journal: Anselm's Proslogion: One, Simple Proof?: by Dennis W. Jowers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Anselm's ontological argument for the existence of God is, in one sense, quite simple; God is that-than-which-no-greater-can-be-thought, and he must, therefore, exist, for otherwise he would not be that-than-which-no-greater-can-be-thought.
		Careful analysis of Anselm's Proslogion and his Reply to Gaunilo, however, will show that Anselm proposes not one, but six ontological arguments which, while relying on common premises about the nature of thought and the identity of God, differ in their contents, sometimes markedly.
		Anselm has, therefore, overcome much of the gap between faith and understanding; for the more one knows through faith about God's nature, the more, with the help of Anselm's techniques, can one defend that knowledge.

	Anselm's Reply to Guanilo
		Anselm begins by pointing out that Guanilo is a Christian and not a fool, and says that he will address him accordingly.
		When Anselm says "if [the GCB] can be thought to exist, it does necessarily exist" he means "if the GCB can truly, coherently be thought to exist, it exists necessarily." And a coherent thought of something isn't just a matter of mentally pronouncing some words.
		Anselm argues that he would have to be without parts and everywhere present at all times.

		Anselm contemplates the highest rectitude (rectitudo) of the divine revelation in creation and redemption; he discerns its truth from the harmony, from the faultless proportions, from the way in which it must be so (necessitas) something at once dependent on the utmost freedom and manifesting the utmost
		Anselm's work has two sides: form and content, method and subject matter; and if both exist in tension with one another, too little attention is usually paid to their unity and their mutual interdependence.
		The older and the more experienced Anselm becomes, the more the accent on aesthetic reason of his early works (Monologion and Proslogion) with their, as it were, immediate apprehension of theological necessities, shifts to the defence of Christian freedom--in the individual and the Church--from whose unfathomable glory all necessities are derived.
