This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video focuses on Anselm's work, the Proslogion, and examines his discussion in chapters 3 and 4 of the being of God, which Anselm has argued in chapter 2 can be demonstrated , beginning from the formula "that that which nothing greater can be thought" (quo maius cogitari non potest). In chapter 3, Anselm further argues that God cannot be thought not to exist, which then raises a question about how the Biblical Fool is able to say in his heart that there is no God. This is resolved in chapter 4, where Anselm makes a distinction between two modes of "thinking"

The fact that all your various series form seemingly eternal sets, each of such unique richness, smoothness, and convenience, is just ineffable. Thank you for all you do, and your remarkable consistency; you’re truly a KZbinr to accompany life, which i suppose as a philosopher means you are doing it right :))

It's certainly one way of doing philosophy in the internet age
