Anselmus Cantaberiensis

Japanese: アンセルムス（英語表記）Anselmus Cantaberiensis

Born 1033 in Aosta, Northern Italy
Died: April 21, 1109. Archbishop of Canterbury, Benedictine, Doctor of the Church, and Saint. Father of scholastic philosophy. His life is divided into his time as a theologian at the monastery of Le Bec, and his time as Bishop of Canterbury, during which he dedicated himself to the freedom and rights of the Church amid the conflict between church and state. In his early period, he wrote works such as Monologion, known for its proof of the existence of God, Proslogion, and De Veritate, based on the Credo ut intelligam (I believe because I may understand), and in his later period, he wrote Cur Deus Homo, famous for its theory of atonement. His philosophy was based on Aurelius Augustine, and was evangelical, emphasizing that powerless human beings, corrupted from birth, cannot be saved without God's grace.

[生]1033. 北イタリア，アオスタ
[没]1109.4.21. カンタベリー
カンタベリーの大司教，ベネディクト会士，教会博士，聖人。スコラ哲学の父。その生涯は神学者として過ごしたル・ベク大修院時代と，政教対立のさなか教会の自由と権利のために献身したカンタベリー司教時代に分かたれる。彼は前期に「理解せんがため，われ信ず」 Credo ut intelligamという立場から『モノロギオン』，神の存在証明で知られる『プロスロギオン』『真理論』などを著し，後期には贖罪論として有名な『クール・デウス・ホモ』などを書いた。その思想はアウレリウス・アウグスチヌスに拠り，福音主義的で，生まれながらに堕落している無力な人間は，神の恩恵なくしては救われないことを強調している。
