	Anselm of Canterbury [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Anselm was born in 1033 in Aosta, a border town of the kingdom of Burgundy.
		Anselm begins from, and never leaves the standpoint of a committed and practicing Catholic Christian, but this does not mean that his philosophical work is thereby vitiated as philosophy by operating on the basis of and within the confines of theological presuppositions.
		Anselm notes a similarity between the terms “ineffable,” “unthinkable,” and “that than which nothing greater can be thought,” for in each case, it can be impossible for us to think or understand the thing referred to by the expression, but the expression can be thought and understood.

		Saint Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109) was the outstanding Christian philosopher and theologian of the eleventh century.

		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 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.

	A History of Western Philosophy 2.10
		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 now returns to the fool, for whom God enjoys at least mental existence since he knows that God is said to be that than which nothing greater can be conceived, but who would deny that the idea is exemplified or instanced outside his mind.
		Anselm lived at a time when the quarrel between the dialecticians and antidialecticians was raging, and it was doubtless inevitable that he would be drawn into it.

	Anselm of Canterbury (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		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.
		So Anselm does not stop, in what concerns the injured honour of God, at a consideration of the ordo congruus universitatis rerum: no matter how intact God's honour remains because of his punitive Justice, his love still suffers loss which dishonours it and which must ultimately be made good.
		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.
