Anselm's Proslogion bears a century-long history of reception in the philosophical and theological tradition of the Occident. By focusing on the unum argumentum (chapters II-IV) alone, the work has often been received in a reductive, merely rational way. If taken as a whole, the Proslogion performs a dramatic existential quest for God, which neither begins nor ends in pure philosophical speculation. Being initially rooted in spiritual practice (i.e. prayer), Anselm's logical parcours starts to erode when it becomes clear that solely knowing God in a conceptual way does not satisfy the human desire; the soul longs for the experience of feeling God, which finds its fulfillment at the end of the Proslogion in the joy for and love of the other. This contribution analizes the experience of Anselm's believer in its diverse registers and the shifts from one to the other. It reflects about the relation of these diverse registers, and above all about the possibility to feel God in an indirect way, by loving the others.
