Sažetak

The article presents the results of the interpretation of Anselm's unum argumentum for the existence of God in the context of his Proslogion, which partially includes investigation of the key terms to shape the argument (deus, ipsum esse, intuition, praesentia, immutability, foolish [blunt] and wise soul, the fool); investigation of fragments and texts from Augustine's opus, and even some texts from a few other authors, such as Bonaventura, Descartes and Kant. Anselm named God aliquid quo nihil mains cogitari possit, and yet maior quam cogitari possit. Specificity of his talk and understanding of God is that »deus«, or aliquid quo nihil mains cogitari possit, is ipsum esse, and the cognition and speaking about the esse of God is cognition and speaking about the esse itself. In this way it is shown that ontology is theology and vice versa. The way Anselm forms it, the argument also shows that the esse of God and the question about him concerns man in the way that the heathenness is equal to foolishness.
