This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.  

This video focuses on Anselm of Canterbury's work, the Monologion, and discusses his argument in chapter 3 for the existence of a Supreme Being, which is the cause of the being of other beings
