Through a close reading of Chapters 2–4 of Anselm’s Proslogion, this note advances an interpretation of the ‘maius’ formula according to which it refers not to an object of thought but to the act of thinking itself in its primordial self-reflexivity. By examining the implications of the necessity of thought and of its intrinsic intentionality — its constitutive orientation toward truth — the note argues that Anselm’s reasoning is best understood as a phenomenological description of the experience of thinking itself. On this reading, such an experience becomes possible only through God’s self-revelation within thought.
