en Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 aug 2020
In A Historical Study of Anselm's Proslogion, Toivo J. Holopainen offers a new overall interpretation of Anselm’s Proslogion by providing a historical explanation for the distinctive combination of argument and devotion that this treatise exhibits. Part 1 clarifies Anselm’s outlook on the central arguments in the treatise by offering a careful analysis of the ‘single argument’, the discovery of which Anselm announces in the preface. Part 2 reassesses the conflicting views about faith and reason in the immediate background of the Proslogion (the Eucharistic controversy, the publication of the Monologion). Part 3 examines the Proslogion from a rhetorical perspective and argues that applying the ‘single argument’ in a devotional setting constitutes a subtle attempt to affect the audience’s ideas about method in theology.

Recenzii

"The strength of this book lies in Holopainen's analysis of the historical context in which Anselm wrote the Proslogion [...] it makes a significant contribution to our understanding of Anselm's intriguing and challenging 'little book'". Richard Campbell, in The Medieval Review, August 2021.
