Abstract: A towering intellect of the 11th century, Saint Anselm of Canterbury forged a path where faith and reason walked hand in hand. This essential collection brings together the core writings of the "Father of Scholasticism," offering direct access to his revolutionary ideas.From the audacious logic of the Proslogion's ontological argument to the profound theological insights of Cur Deus Homo, Anselm grappled with the most fundamental questions of existence, God, and humanity's place in the divine order.Anselm of Canterbury (1033/4–1109), also known as Anselm of Aosta (after his birthplace) and Anselm of Bec (after his monastery), was an Italian Benedictine monk, abbot, philosopher, and theologian of the Catholic Church, who served as Archbishop of Canterbury from 1093 to 1109.Sidney Norton Deane (1878 – 1945) was the translator of St. Anselm's major philosophical and religious writings at the turn of the 19th century.
