The Boldness of the Incited Reason by Faith in Sain Anselm

Abstract

St Anselm is an important medieval character of the delicate relationship between faith and reason. Three of his works —Monologion, Epistola de incarnatione Verbi and Cur Deus Homo— give us a clear sample of that interrelation, as well as of what he calls the use of sola ratione and the argument of necessary truth. This article is a preamble for an adequate comprehension of his argument to prove the existence of God,in the Proslogion, which has made this author famous in the history of philosophy.
