📖 À propos Anselm
Anselme est un prenom germanique ancien signifiant 'sous la protection divine', forme de 'ans' (dieu) et 'helm' (casque/bouclier). Il doit sa renommee durable a saint Anselme de Canterbury (1033-1109), moine benedictin d'origine italienne devenu archeveque de Canterbury, venere comme le pere de la Scolastique. Son argument ontologique sur l'existence de Dieu reste l'un des plus debattus de l'histoire de la philosophie occidentale. En France, le prenom a ete transmis par les reseaux ecclesiastiques medievaux et subsiste sous la forme Anselme. Aujourd'hui rare, il seduit par son serieux intellectuel et sa profondeur historique.
