Proslogion
The Proslogion (Latin: Proslogium, lit. ‘Discourse’) is a prayer (or meditation) written by the medieval cleric Saint Anselm of Canterbury between 1077 and 1078. In each chapter, Anselm juxtaposes contrasting attributes of God to resolve apparent contradictions in Christian Theology. This meditation is considered the first-known philosophical formulation that sets out an ontological argument for the existence of God.
The original title for this discourse was to be Faith Seeking Understanding.
