    Anselm’s most famous work was a book called the Proslogion in which he outlines his Ontological argument in the form of a prayer spoken directly to God.

Chapter Two of the Proslogion introduces

Gaunilo plays the role of the “fool” and challenges Anselm’s ontological argument. I will argue that Anselm’s response to Gaunilo’s attack is not adequate
