Abstract
Anselm lived between 1033-1109. He's an Italian. Throughout his life, he has alsobeen a monk, a pastor. But in a short time he became a renowned philosopher by finding intelligent solutions to the problems of God's being and was appointed Archbishop of Canterbury in 1109.

Scholastic thought emerged at the end of the development of the dialectic, one of the branches of trivium knowledge. Dialectics is the art of discussion by way of questions and answers. Here thefather of the scholastic was Anselm of Canterbury who adopted the dialectic as the basic method of ideological thinking. Anselm, In the XII. century, he made the definition of mind and led people to think. Thus, dialectical thought emerged. Anselm has indicated that God exists, that it cannot be denied, but that it can be understood through reason. XII. In the century God and reason became the cornerstone of Christian humanism.
