Abstract
St. Anselm of Canterbury's place in both the history of philosophy and
the history of theology is firmly recognized, but his place in the
history of logic is often overlooked. We argue that this is primarily
the result of four factors: (1) the primary propagator of Anselm's
logical works in the 20th century, D.P. Henry, used a system of logic
unfamiliar and objectionable to most mainstream logicians,
Le\'sniewski's Ontology; (2) a narrow view of logic in the middle of
the 20th century which would preclude Anselm's writings, which are
often heavily and inextricably steeped in philosophy, particularly
metaphysics; (3) the lack of significant influence of Anselm's ideas
on later medieval logicians; and (4) the effect of ``ontological''
argument on the reception of Anselm's other logical works.
