Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

St. Anselm: Proslogium, Monologium, An Appendix, In Behalf Of The Fool (1903) is a book written by Anselm, a medieval philosopher and theologian. The book contains three main works: Proslogium, Monologium, and an appendix. Proslogium is a work in which Anselm attempts to prove the existence of God through a series of logical arguments. He starts by defining God as ""that than which nothing greater can be conceived"" and then proceeds to argue that such a being must exist in reality, not just in the mind. Monologium is another work in which Anselm explores the nature of God. He argues that God is the source of all existence and that everything else in the world is dependent on him. He also discusses the attributes of God, such as his omnipotence, omniscience, and goodness. The appendix to the book contains a short work called ""In Behalf Of The Fool."" In this work, Anselm argues that even someone who denies the existence of God can still have a sense of morality and a desire for justice. He argues that this sense of morality is evidence of God's existence and that the fool who denies God is really denying himself. Overall, St. Anselm: Proslogium, Monologium, An Appendix, In Behalf Of The Fool (1903) is a philosophical and theological work that explores the nature of God and the arguments for his existence. It is a classic work of medieval philosophy and continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
