Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109) Table of Contents (Clicking on the links below will take you to that part of this article) Life Philosophical Writings Theology Life Back to Table of Contents Philosophical Writings 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. His most celebrated works are the Monologium and Proslogium , both aiming to prove the existence and nature of God. The Cur deus homo , in which he develops views of atonement and satisfaction which are still held by orthodox theologians. The two first named were written at Bec. The last was begun in England " in great tribulation of heart," and finished at Schiavi, a mountain villaffe of Apulia, where Anselm enjoyed a few months of rest in 1098. His meditations and prayers are edifying and often highly impressive. In the Monologium he argues that from the idea of being there follows the idea of a highest and absolute, i.e. self-existent Being, from which all other being derives its existences revival of the ancient cosmological argument. In the Proslogium the idea of the perfect being-" than which nothing greater can be thought "-cannot be separated from its existence. For if the idea of the perfect Being, thus present in consciousness, lacked existence, a still more perfect Being could be thought, of which existence would be a necessary metaphysical predicate, and thus the most perfect Being would be the absolutely Real. In its most simple form, this first version of the ontological argument is as follows:

Back to Medieval Source Book ANSELM ON GOD'S EXISTENCE God's existence was to some extent obvious for medieval theologians. They simply knew he existed. Nevertheless, they attempted to prove his existence anyway, and the basic strategies employed by them are the ones used every since. Here two approaches are presented. The first, by Anselm, is perhaps the most puzzling. While it has not been all that popular with the average believer, it has fascinated philosophers, and even today there are respectable philosophers who accept it. Anselm himself is equally fascinating, since he combined the seemingly disparate roles of saint, ecclesiastical leader, and major philosopher. He was born in 1033 near Aosta, which is now in Italy. At the age of twenty-three he quarreled with his father and began a period of wandering through France on what seems to have resembled an educational grand tour. After trying the schools at Fleury-sur-Loire and Chartres, he arrived at the Benedictine abbey of Bec, which was enjoying an excellent reputation thanks to Lanfranc, who served as both prior and master of its school. Anselm entered the abbey as a novice in 1060 and rapidly rose to eminence. When Lanfranc moved to the new monastery founded at Caen in 1063 by William, the Duke of Normandy, Anselm became prior at Bec, a position he held until he became abbot in 1078. By that time William the Duke had become William the Conqueror and was in the process of reorganizing England. He had brought Lanfranc over as Archbishop of Canterbury, and when Lanfranc died William Rufus, who had succeeded William the Conqueror as king of England, imported Anselm to be the new archbishop. Anselm arrived in 1093 and almost from the moment he touched English soil he was fighting with William to gain ecclesiastical freedom from royal control. By 1097 he was conducting the battle from exile, and was allowed to return only in 1100, when William Rufus was succeeded by Henry I. He got along no better with Henry, however, and in 1103 was back in exile, returning only in 1107 when the stubborn king and equally stubborn archbishop worked out a compromise that became the standard formula for settling church-state quarrels in the twelfth century. Anselm died in 1109.

This patriarch of Antioch is often confused with his namesake, "the Sinaite." Anastasius, a man of singular learning and piety, believed in total detachment from the temporal world. Evagrius ( Eccl. Hist. , 1.4, c. 38, 39) reports that he observed perpetual silence except when charity or necessity compelled him to speak. Anastasius was particularly adept at comforting the afflicted. One would think that a man who did not speak would not get into trouble. Nevertheless, he was a resolute opponent of the imperial politico-theological rule. He vigorously opposed Emperor Justinian's heretical insistence that Jesus, during his mortal life, suffered no pain, i.e., that Christ simply appeared to be a man. For his opposition, Anastasius was threatened with deposition by Justinian, and actually banished from his see for 23 years by Justin II. Anastasius was finally restored to Antioch by Saint Gregory the Great and Emperor Maurice, but died five years later leaving us a legacy of several letters and pious sermons (Benedictines, Husenbeth).

Back to Medieval Source Book ORB Main Page Links to Other Medieval Sites Medieval Sourcebook: Sacraments: A Confirmation Scene from Eadmer, Life of St. Anselm (lib. II, c. iv, # 38.) Although confirmation came to be included among the seven sacraments, it was not necessarily widely available to parishioners, especially in the large dioceses of Northern Europe. Here is an account of Anselm of Canterbury in which his willingness to confirm is seen s a mark of holiness. Coulton adds this note " The medieval bishops had no settled times or places for confirming. It was usual for the people to try to catch them like this on their way through the district. It was frequently complained that maxiy folk died thus unconfirmed. Archbishop Peckham complained in 1281 that there were ` numberless people grown old in evil days who had not yet received the grace of confirmation.'" From C.G. Coulton, ed, Life in the Middle Ages , (New York: Macmillan, c.1910), Vol 1, 14-15 This text is part of the Internet Medieval Source Book . The Sourcebook is a collection of public domain and copy-permitted texts related to medieval and Byzantine history. (c)Paul Halsall August 1996 halsall@murray.fordham.edu

That means that his ideas most likely have influenced the way you think about the world, whether you realize it or not. It also means that the ideas he taught have reached us in a very garbled form. Take his doctrine of the "atonement," for instance (you can read it in "Why God Became Man" in this volume). Anselm taught that by sinning humans have failed to give God the "honor" due him as our creator and as a supremely great and good and beautiful being. This creates a "debt" that must be paid back. We cant pay it, because even if we were perfectly good (which we cant be), that would only be our due anyway. It wouldnt pay back the original "debt" incurred by Adam and Eve. That debt is so great that only God himself could pay it. Yet the debt had to be paid by a human being. So God became human and paid the debt on our behalf.

July 11th, 2003 The Feast of St. Benedict Some sixty years have passed since the Priory School opened it doors in September of 1942 and September of 2003 will soon be upon us in this never ending circle of events. Black Elk, an Oglala Sioux Indian, said in the late 1890's: "You notice that everything an Indian does is in a circle; and that is because the power of the world always works in circles, and everything tries to be round; the sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. The wind, in its great power, whirls round. Birds make their nests in a circle, for theirs is the same religion as ours. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back to where they were. The life of an individual person is a circle from childhood to childhood. And so it is in everything where power moves." In all these events, St. Anselm's Abbey School (in the year 2002-2003) has once again been blessed by success with many significant achievements. The school has had its largest enrollment of 265 students, 71 of whom received financial aid. Our SAT scores remain high in the 1400 average range. The Class of 2003 had every Ivy League placement, save one Cornell University. Sixteen of the thirty-six graduates were recognized in the National Merit Program, and several graduates will receive second semester Sophomore standing at their respective colleges or universities because of their Advance Placement examination credits.

"Our faith has to be defended by reason against the impious, not against those who admit rejoicing in the honor of being called Christians. Of these one can justly demand that they hold unshaken the pledge given in baptism; but the former must be shown by reason how irrationally they scorn us. A Christian should progress through faith to understanding, not reach faith through understanding, or, if he cannot understand, fall away from faith. Indeed, someone who can attain understanding should rejoice, but someone who cannot understand, should venerate what he is unable to comprehend."
