Question 1

Anselms’ 5 premises

Answer 1

1. God is that than which “nothing greater can be conceived”
2. We can understand this concept, therefore he exists in the mind.
3. It is greater to exist both in the mind and reality
4. If god existed only in the mind we could think of something greater that were in the mind and reality.
5. In order to be a being than which nothing greater can be conceived, must therefore exist in mind and reality. Therefore he exists in reality.
