Being as Event. On Some Prerequisites for the Proof of God in Anselm of Canterbury
ln recent discussions on Anselm’s ontological argument, it is made the assumption that Anselm holds “existence” to be a first order predicate. However, there is no explicit statement in Anselm’s texts that confirms this interpretation. In Thomas Aquinas and his predecessors, the logic of subject and...

However, there is no explicit statement in Anselm’s texts that confirms this interpretation. In Thomas Aquinas and his predecessors, the logic of subject and predicate is applied on Anselm’s argument. Anselm himself has no logic of “existence”. The exact meaning and function of the expression “existence” is therefore to be investigated by an interpretation of its actual use in the argument itself. I propose that Anselm views existence to be an event, and that the term "maius" can best be interpreted as a relation between different kinds of events. En discusiones recientes respecto al argumento ontológico de Anselmo se asume que Anselmo toma a “existencia” como un predicado de primer orden. Sin embargo, no hay ninguna frase explícita en los textos anselmianos que confirme esta interpretación. Tanto en Tomás de Aquino como en sus predecesores la lógica de sujeto y predicado se aplica al argumento de Anselmo. Pero Anselmo mismo no presenta lógica alguna de “existencia”. Por tanto, el significado y función exactos de la expresión “existencia” debe investigarse a través de una interpretación de su uso efectivo en el argumento mismo. Propongo que Anselmo entiende a la existencia como un evento y que el término “maius” puede interpretarse de mejor manera como una relación entre diferentes tipos de eventos. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/7897 deu Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/7897/6956 Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol. 19 (1998); 3-22 2683-9636 Anselmo Argumento ontológico Existencia Lógica Evento Anselm Ontological argument Existence Logic Event Being as Event.
