This title was first published in 2001: Reason, Community and
Religious Tradition examines key questions about the relationship
of rationality to its contexts by tracing the early history of the
so-called 'ontological' argument. The book follows Anselm's
Proslogion from its origins in the private, devotional context of
an eleventh-century monastery to its reception in the public and
adversarial contexts of the friars' schools in the thirteenth
century. Using unpublished manuscript evidence from the Dominican
and Franciscan schools at Oxford, Paris and Bologna in the
thirteenth century, Matthews argues that the debate over Anselm's
argument embodied the broader religious differences between the
Franciscan and Dominican communities. By comparing the most famous
figures of the period with their lesser-known contemporaries,
Matthews argues that the Friars thought as communities and
developed as traditions as they developed their arguments. This
book will interest anyone concerned with the nature of rationality,
and its relationship to communities and traditions, and what this
entails for rational debate across cultural divides. In particular,
it offers a fresh perspective on traditional approaches to the
rationality of religion and religious belief.
