Proslogion / Anrede
Anselm (1033-1101) ist einer der bedeutendsten Denker des frühen Mittelalters. Thema des Proslogion - wie auch des zuvor entstandenen Monologion (Selbstgespräch) - ist Gott, der Grund des Glaubens. Es soll bewiesen werden, "dass Gott wahrhaft ist und dass er das höchste Gut ist..." Dieser "Gottesbeweis" erfolgt aus dem einen Argument heraus, dass Gott "etwas ist, über das nicht Größeres gedacht werden kann". Eingebettet in ein großes Gebet, hat Anselm mit dialektischer Schärfe einen Gedanken exemplarisch ausformuliert, der die folgende Philosophiegeschichte durchziehen und in immer neuen Anläufen prägen sollte.
