The medieval philosopher and archbishop often called the father of scholasticism, famous for his ontological argument for the existence of God and his motto "faith seeking understanding." His rigorous use of reason to explore the truths of belief, in works like the Proslogion, helped set the course of Christian philosophy for the centuries that followed.
