Approaches to the Doctrine of the Original Sin in Anselm of Canterbury (1st part)
Abstract
The first part of this study aims to show the preponderant place of the reflection on original sin in the architecture of De conceptu virginali..., a difficult and singular work of the Anselmian “corpus”. Thanks to a threefold reading (centred successively on Adam, Christ and every man) that highlights the particular use of the categories used by Anselm to articulate his discourse, we can better grasp the meaning of the doctrine itself, whose main points (sinful human nature, the theme of original sin, its transmission, its nature and its gravity) draw, in a certain way, the portrait of a humanity in exile (c. 27).
