Anselm in the New York Times

Thanks to Jay Diehl for sending me this link to a discussion of Anselm's Proslogion argument in the New York Times:

The Self-Thinking Thought

Whilst the article bears little relation to what Anselm's argument is actually about it shows its enduring fascination. Particularly enjoyable are the comments posted by what I hope are some of the less bright readers of the Times.
