Anselm of Canterbury, Monologion | Divine Eternity | Philosophy Core Concepts

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 video focuses on Anselm of Canterbury's work, the Monologion, and discusses the topic of divine eternity - in chapters 18-24.

My videos are used by students, lifelong learners, other professors, and professionals to learn more about topics, texts, and thinkers in philosophy, religious studies, literature, social-political theory, critical thinking, and communications. These include college and university classes, British A-levels preparation, and Indian civil service (IAS) examination preparation

Donating next week, Everyone ante up, the man deserves a medal in my opinion. Look at all the content!

I love that many of the videos you have made recently are on St. Anselm's works! He was a great thinker but I have noticed many people seem to have forgotten him and his ideas because of the popularity of other medieval era thinkers such as St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Duns Scotus, and even St. Bonaventure among others. I appreciate you taking the time to try to introduce more people to the genius that was St. Anselm!

When people of past tackles with concept of time i'm in awe.

Perhaps i'm bit stupid but somehow i think that we modern people are in advantage compared to people of past times because we can understand time to be one dimension of existence and that it's relative, so for us time might be not as fixed thing and we can bend it even to play around with ideas of time travel. But for people of past time does appear to be same for everyone.

Or maybe i'm just prison of my modern mind set. Maybe for them concept of eternity encompassing past-present-future wasn't that hard, at least for Anselm it doesn't seem to be.
