Abstract

This article examines the influence of Augustine’s De Trinitate 9–14 on the concept of foolishness that Anselm develops in the Monologion and Proslogion. Building on Augustine’s understanding of the soul as trinitarian image, I argue that Anselm effectively extends the implications of Augustine’s theological anthropology in such a way that foolishness appears as a denial of the necessary teleological implications of this same trinitarian psychology.
