 [No title]
Saint Anselm’s proof for God’s existence in his Proslogion, as the label “ontological” retrospectively hung on it indicates, is usually treated as involving some sophisticated problem of, or a much less sophisticated tampering with, the concept of existence.
It seems, therefore, that all that Anselm’s proof requires is that modicum of rationality which is needed to understand a simple descriptive phrase, to reflect on what the description implies, and to conclude to these implications concerning the thought object one has in mind as a result of understanding the description.
So Anselm’s proof will not convert the atheist, who does not share Anselm’s belief that his description applies to something, though he understands that many people have this belief, and he is even able to identify the object of this belief, as that fiction, the God of the religious.

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.
