Description

This volume collects several studies on Anselm of Canterbury's philosophical theology and ethics originally presented at the Third International Conference of Medieval Philosophy in Brazil. Incommemoration of the 900th anniversary of Anselm's death, the conference facilitated a unique exchange of ideas among Latin American, North American and European scholars on current issues in Anselmian scholarship. The papers included in the volume concern diverse areas of interest: Anselm's method in different phases of his career and his attitude towards philosophy; Anselm's contribution to logic and semantics in De grammatico; the continuing challenge of interpreting his "proof" in Proslogion (revisited with an eye into contemporary accounts of his unum argumentum); the topic of guilt and punishment in Anselm's works, as well as the understanding of his moral-theological project, in dialogue with contemporary discussions of deontology.
