A. D. Smith was Professor of Philosophy at the University of Warwick.
A. D. Smith’s Anselm’s Other Argument offers by far the best
treatment of the relevant parts of the Proslogion known to me. His
treatments of complex philosophical and exegetical
questions—particularly Anselm’s understanding of modal notions and
their relation to conceivability—seem exactly right. Smith is fully
in command of both the material in Anselm and of all of the modern
systems of modal logic required to show what Anselm is and is not
committed to. Anyone interested in medieval theology, and many
people interested in modal logic, would find things of value
here.
