Anselme II d'Aoste évêque d'Aoste d'origine inconnu vers 1075-1090

Biographie
Anselme II qui siège comme évêque d'Aoste vers 1075 à 1090 est chancelier de la chancellerie d'Aoste. Il n'est connu que par un seul document daté d'environ 1075 où il apparaît: « Ego Gosfredus vic Anselmi épiscopi sive cancellari ». Un obiit du martyrologue de la cathédrale d'Aoste, du 15 juillet d'une année indéterminée, relève également la mort de son père « Obiit Bovo pater Anselmi episcopi Augusten ». On sait qu'un Bovo avait occupé la charge de chancelier de 1032 à 1060

Anselm of Aosta: a "formidable thinker" among the modern prophets of nothing
Nine hundred years later, his "intelligence of faith" is still the main way through "our age of the proliferation of doubts." The blistering homily with which Cardinal Giacomo Biffi, in the name of the pope, opened the celebrations for the great doctor of the Church

by Sandro Magister


ROME, April 23, 2009 – To celebrate the "doctor magnificus" Anselm at the ninth centenary of his death, Benedict XVI sent as his delegate a bishop theologian like himself, Cardinal Giacomo Biffi.

And the cardinal carried out his task in his own way. In the cathedral of Aosta, the birthplace of the saint, in the homily for his liturgical feast on April 21, he defended the extraordinary relevance of the great Anselm: "a formidable thinker" and a man of faith among the many false teachers of doubt, absolutely faithful to the successor of Peter among the many, including bishops, who left him alone.

Cardinal Biffi's homily is presented in its entirety further below.

For the occasion, pope Joseph Ratzinger sent two messages: the first, to the abbot primate of the Benedictine Confederation, Notker Wolf, and the second to Cardinal Biffi, his special envoy for the celebrations.

The second of these messages was read at the cathedral of Aosta on April 21, immediately after Biffi's homily. A link to the complete text can be found at the bottom of this page.

One of Anselm's savings has become famous: "Non quæro intelligere ut credam, sed credo ut intelligam"; I do not seek to understand in order to believe, but I believe in order to understand.

But even more famous in the history of thought is his way of asserting the existence of God: as the evident, undeniable equivalence of "that than which no greater can be thought" and the being that cannot be thought of as not existing.

This argument was criticized and rejected by Thomas Aquinas and by Kant, but considered valid by Duns Scotus, Descartes, Leibniz, and Hegel. But properly speaking, the reformulation that Descartes and others after him made of this "ontological argument" does not correspond to Anselm's authentic thought.

According to the most attentive students of his work, for Anselm the existence of God is not something that must be "demonstrated." The evident "proof" instead concerns the denial of his existence: those who deny the existence of "that than which no greater can be thought" trap themselves in an insurmountable contradiction, cutting off the possibility of all thought.

Anselm was a man of Europe. His name is associated with Aosta, beneath the peaks of the Alps, with the Benedictine abbey of Bec in Normandy, of which he was abbot, and with Canterbury, of which he was bishop. The celebrations involve all three of these places
