This lecture discusses the medieval Christian thinker, monk, and bishop, Anselm of Canterbury's work, the Proslogion, and focuses on his exploration in the final three chapters the work (the first of which he calls a "speculation" or "conjectatio"), of what the ultimate good would be for human beings, and the components of that ultimate good.
