The author considers dialectics of faith and reason and defines the concepts of faith and reason in the context of arguments for the existence of God in the philosophy of Anselm of Canterbury. The article analyses the specific nature of relation of faith and reason in Anselm’s doctrine. The possibility of synthesis of faith and reason as a means to perceive God in the philosophy of Anselm of Canterbury is considered.
