De què tracta
Els tres escrits principals d'Anselm en un sol volum: el «Monologion», el «Proslogion» i el «Cur Deus homo».
Context i història
El «Monologion» prova l'existència de Déu a partir dels graus de bondat i d'ésser que es troben al món, i ho fa amb una cadena llarga d'arguments. El «Proslogion» busca l'argument únic que no necessiti res del món, i el troba: allò de què no es pot pensar res més gran no pot existir només en l'enteniment, perquè llavors se'n podria pensar una cosa més gran. Aquesta prova, que Kant va batejar d'ontològica, ha estat refutada i ressuscitada tants cops que la llista de qui l'ha discutida és gairebé la història de la filosofia. El «Cur Deus homo» pregunta per què Déu es va fer home, i respon amb la teoria de la satisfacció: el pecat deu un deute que només l'home ha de pagar i només Déu pot pagar. El volum inclou també la resposta del monjo Gauniló al «Proslogion» i la rèplica d'Anselm, que és on es veu millor què volia dir.

In this brief work the author aims at proving in a single argument the existence of God, and whatsoever we believe of God. — The difficulty of the task. — The author writes in the person of one who contemplates God, and seeks to understand what he believes. To this work he had given this title : Faith Seeking Understanding. He finally named it Proslogium, — that is, A Discourse. After I had published, at the solicitous entreaties of certain brethren, a brief work (the Monologiutii) as an example of meditation on the grounds of faith, in the person of one who investigates, in a course of silent reasoning with himself, matters of which he is ignorant ; considering that this book was knit together by the linking of many arguments, I began to ask myself whether there might be found a single argument which would require no other for its proof than itself alone ; and alone would suffice to demonstrate that God truly exists, and that there is a supreme good requiring nothing else, which all other things require for their existence and well-being ; and whatever we believe regarding the divine Being. Although I often and earnestly directed my thought to this end, and at some times that which I sought ANSKLM. v ust within my roach, while again it ,.u! :i.y mental vision, at last in despair I .v* .-j .isc. as if from the search for a thing .'. -.^-l L»c found.
