Anselms Präsenz. Momente und Assoziationen Zum Gedenken an den 40.Todestag von Franciscus Salesius Schmitt OSB

Summary/Abstract: Anselm`s thinking is a stimulating enterprise – inspiring since the later Middle Ages and early modern thinkers who were smart enough to avoid the gap of circulus vitiosus deus (Friedrich Nietzsche) seeing in God the identity of human mind, absorbed by the errors of void mirroring. It is evident that the Gerberon edition of Anselm`s works (1675) and the modern edition by Dom Schmitt (since World War II , finished 1961) inspired Anselmian studies. Here we are focussing on 20th century’s studies since Guardini`s and Karl Barth`s insights into the ecclesiastical dimension of Anselm`s thought (opposing misleading formalized analytical interpretations even before these became fashionable). After all, we can see in Anselm a landmark thinker of frontiers – starting from giving voice to the wishful thinking of the good in itself and leading to see what is given to us, starting from monologue to dialogue. In this way we can see in Anselm`s work a path – directly through the tremendous self-denying errors of modernity.
