Anselm's ontological argument is one of the most fascinating, most
controversial, and most misunderstood arguments in the entire
history of Western thought. By centring the argument firmly in the
Neoplatonic tradition within which Anselm was
writing, Understanding Anselm's Ontological
Argument sheds fresh light and clarity on this enigmatic
piece of philosophy. It argues that, far from resting upon a
fallacy or illegitimately attempting to define God into existence,
Anselm's argument is a powerful and plausible philosophical proof,
and deserves to be taken seriously as such. Â Written to be
understandable for specialists and non-specialists alike,
Understanding Anselm's Ontological Argument is ideal for
scholars and researchers in philosophy of religion and philosophy
in the Middle Ages (especially Neoplatonism) as well as for
medievalists in general.
