摘要：The aim of this papper is to analyze « Pure perfections » (perfectiones simpiciter) according to Anselm. Pure perfections are those perfections that exclude any potency, that is, they do not admit any kind of imperfection. Pure perfections according to Anselm are always connected to the idea that, in every way, it is better to be than not to be, as it is shown in Monologion XV. We can say that God is the main subject of Anselm’s reasonings, but this theme is covered by such particularity that it differs from any other topic which might raise philosophical interest. There is a fundamental ontological difference between God and all other beings and creatures. Only He exists by Himself, while creatures owe their existence to another being. This is a basic statement present in Anselm’s philosophical talk of God.
