Abstract

The aim of the article is to offer reading of the four chapters of Anselmʼs work Proslogion and the place of ontological argument in the dialogue between Anselm and fool. In the introduction is introduced brief and selective consideration of Anselmʼs ontological argument in the philosophy. Further, it is suggested the place of the fool and the ontological argument regarding Anselmʼs works Monologion and Proslogion. In the final part we introduces provisional dialogue between Anselm and fool within first four chapters of Proslogion about the change of the attitude of faith toward capacity of reason and in the conclusion ontological argument is suggested as test for the change of this attitude.
