Both defend the need for a God who saves man: according to Anselm, due to the consequences of evil, which man consented and cannot revert;according to Heidegger, due to the consequences of technicity, which man created and can no longer control. In any case, the design of salvation posits the question of man: Why man? This question was considered ever since the remote 12th century, in a time of renovation for European culture, and is once again posited with special acuteness in our days, in a time of accelerated technological progress of human civilization. Which is why Anselm’s reflection around salvation and the medieval question of man may open doors towards re-equating the value of man in its actual state and in the future horizon of humanity?展开更多

At the same time, Anselm misuses the two types of existence in his ontological comparison, leading to a logical contradiction between the different kinds and degrees of existence. Since Anselm＇s idea of different reference subjects does not coherently solve this logical absurdity, Anselm＇s ontological argument falls well short of being a successful approach to establishing the existence of God.展开更多
