That God truly exists
Well then, Lord, You who give understanding to faith, grant me that
I may understand, as much as You see fit, that You exist as we believe
You to exist, and that You are what we believe You to be. Now we
believe that You are something than which nothing greater can be
thought. Or can it be that a thing of such a nature does not exist,
since ¡®the Fool has said in his heart, there is no God¡¯ [Ps. 13: 1; 52:
1]? But surely, when this same Fool hears what I am speaking about,
namely, ¡®something-than-which-nothing-greater-can-be-thought¡¯,
he understands what he hears, and what he understands is in his
mind, even if he does not understand that it actually exists. For it is
one thing for an object to exist in the mind, and another thing to
understand that an object actually exists. Thus, when a painter plans
beforehand what he is going to execute, he has [the picture] in his
mind, but he does not yet think that it actually exists because he has
not yet executed it. However, when he has actually painted it, then
he both has it in his mind and understands that it exists because
he has now made it. Even the Fool, then, is forced to agree that
something-than-which-nothing-greater-can-be-thought exists in the
mind, since he understands this when he hears it, and whatever is
understood is in the mind. And surely that-than-which-a-greatercannot-be-thought cannot exist in the mind alone. For if it exists
solely in the mind, it can be thought to exist in reality also,
which is greater. If then that-than-which-a-greater-cannot-bethought exists in the mind alone, this same that-than-whichProslogion 87
a-greater-cannot-be-thought is that-than-which-a-greater-can-bethought. But this is obviously impossible. Therefore there is
absolutely no doubt that something-than-which-a-greater-cannotbe-thought exists both in the mind and in reality
