Ivo is claimed to have studied at the Abbey of Bec in Normandy under Lanfranc, where he would have met Anselm of Aosta, the great Scholastic.

He is claimed to have studied first in Paris, then in Abbey of Bec in Normandy where ( according to some sources ) he studied under Lanfranc along with Anselm of Canterbury.

Roscellinus seems to have put forward this doctrine in perfect good faith, and to have claimed for it at first the authority of Lanfranc and Anselm.

Descartes argued further that this knowledge could lead to a proof of the certainty of the existence of God, using the ontological argument that had been formulated first by Anselm of Canterbury.

* Saint Anselm, reputed founder of scholasticism and creator of the ontological argument

* Anselm of Canterbury: Anselm is best known for the ontological argument for God's existence, i. e.: God is that than which nothing greater can be conceived.

The incongruity of judging " being " against something that might not exist, may have led Anselm to his famous ontological argument for God's existence.

This ontological argument originated in the work of St. Anselm, the medieval Scholastic philosopher and theologian.

Further solutions to the existence of God have been proposed by St. Anselm, who formulated the first ontological argument ; Ibn Rushd ( Averroes ) and Aquinas, who presented their own versions of the cosmological argument ( the kalam argument and the first way ), respectively ; Descartes, who said that the existence of a benevolent God was logically necessary for the evidence of the senses to be meaningful ; and Immanuel Kant, who argued that the existence of God can be deduced from the existence of good.

The ontological argument has been formulated by philosophers including St. Anselm and René Descartes.

Another important argument for proof of the existence of God was the ontological argument, advanced by St. Anselm.

Anselm of Canterbury composed the ontological argument for the existence of God, which he believed to be irrefutable.

Anselm referred to them in developing his ontological argument in the Proslogion.

Plantinga defends Anselm's proof by averring that it applies exclusively to Him, a viewpoint that Anselm himself had stated but failed to elaborate.

Both Gaunilo and the Haights arguments point out that there may be other nouns, and other bivalent adjectives that when conceived as an Anselm proof ( in an extreme that demands existence ) could also be argued to necessitate their existence as well.

Only two of the volumes are known to be in existence ; one is a copy of John of Salisbury's works in the British Museum, and the other some theological treatises by Anselm and others in the Bodleian.

Thus, according to St. Anselm, the concept of God necessarily entails His existence.

Where Anselm used the word " greater " to define god into existence, the Haights point out that the logic can be inverted by replacing " greater " with " worse ".

On the other hand, Anselm of Canterbury seems to think that almightiness is one of the things that makes God count as omnipotent.

In the 11th century, St. Anselm argues that there are many things that God cannot do, but that nonetheless he counts as omnipotent.

Anselm argued that the insult given to God is so great that only a perfect sacrifice could satisfy and Jesus, being both God and man, was this perfect sacrifice.

Medieval Agnus Dei with halo ( religious iconography ) | halo and cross ; Euphrasian Basilica, Poreč, Croatia. The 11th century Christology of Saint Anselm of Canterbury specifically disassociates Lamb of God from the Old Testament concept of an Scape goat which is subjected to punishment for the sins of others, without knowing it or willing it.

Anselm emphasized that as Lamb of God Jesus chose to suffer in Calvary as a sign of his full obedience to the will of the Father.

However, as above Saint Anselm and John Calvin's view reject the Scapegoat symbolism for they view Jesus as making a knowing sacrifice as an agent of God, unlike an unwitting Scapegoat.

" Anselm thought that God did not feel emotions such as anger or love, but appeared to do so through our imperfect understanding.

The concept of impassibility was developed by medieval theologians like Anselm and continues to be in tension with more emotional concepts of God.

) As philosopher and Anselm scholar Katherin A. Rogers observes, many contemporary philosophers of religion suppose that there are true propositions which exist as platonic abstracta independently of God.

While most theologians ( e. g. Anselm of Canterbury, René Descartes, and Gottfried Leibniz ) considered God as logically necessary being, Richard Swinburne argued for factual necessity, and Alvin Plantinga argues that God is a causally necessary being.

Anselm of Canterbury, a priest, monk, and philosopher defined God as the " Being than which no greater can be conceived.

Only God, as Anselm defines him, meets all of those criteria and can, therefore, be dubbed a necessary being.

Anselm speaks of human sin as defrauding God of the honour he is due.

Two other uncommon sources were promoted by Alexander: Anselm of Canterbury, whose writings had been ignored for almost a century gained an important advocate in Alexander and he used Anselm's works extensively in his teaching on Christology and soteriology ; and, Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, whom Alexander used in his examination of the theology of Orders and ecclesiastical structures.

Urban II exchanged much correspondence with Archbishop Anselm of Canterbury, to whom he extended an order to come urgently to Rome just after the archbishop's first flight from England, and earlier gave his approval to Anselm's work De Incarnatione Verbi ( The Incarnation of the Word ).

He travelled to Rome in 1102 to receive his pallium from the pope, to whom he presented the king's side against Anselm in the controversy surrounding investitures.

In 1102 Anselm refused to consecrate three bishops, two of whom had received investiture from the king ; Gerard offered to consecrate them instead, but all except one refused.

He was one of the bishops elect whom Archbishop Anselm of Canterbury refused to consecrate in 1101 as having been nominated and invested by the lay power.

St. Anselm described theology as " Faith seeking understanding " and theistic evolutionists believe that this search for understanding extends to scientific understanding.

In panic owing to serious illness in 1093, William nominated as archbishop another Norman-Italian, Saint Anselm of Canterbury — considered the greatest theologian of his generation — but this led to a long period of animosity between Church and State, Anselm being a stronger supporter of the Gregorian reforms in the Church than Lanfranc.

It was Anselm of St Saba who brought the pallium to England, along with letters from Paschal complaining that the English Church was translating bishops from see to see without papal permission, that legates from the papacy were being refused entry to England and that the king was allowing no appeals to be made to the pope over ecclesiastical issues.

116 and attributed to Haymo of Halberstadt has also been identified as possibly being the work of Anselm.

He is known for being a contemporary biographer of his archbishop and companion, Saint Anselm, in his Vita Anselmi, and for his Historia novorum in Anglia, which presents the public face of Anselm.

The intimacy was renewed when Anselm became archbishop of Canterbury in 1093 ; afterward Eadmer was not only Anselm's disciple, but also his friend and director, being formally appointed to this position by Pope Urban II.

Rufus resigned himself to Anselm's position as archbishop, and at the king's court at Windsor he consented to Anselm being given the pallium.

No source mentions him being invested by the king, but as Anselm urged Pope Paschal II to give Gerard his pallium, which he would have been unlikely to do if Gerard had been invested by Henry, that possibility seems remote.

Archbishop Anselm of Canterbury forbade the marriage based on the couple being related in the 4th generation on one side, and in the 6th generation on the other.

Catherine Anselm " Kate " Gleason ( November 25, 1865 – January 9, 1933 ) was an American engineer and businesswoman known both for being a revolutionary in the predominantly male field of engineering and for her philanthropy.

St. Anselm, the 11th century Archbishop of Canterbury, argued against the ransom view, saying that Satan, being himself a rebel and outlaw, could never have a just claim against humans.
