      The Augustinian Tradition

      Today's Price £48.04



      Product Description

      Augustine did a great deal to Christianize the classical learning of ancient Greece and Rome, and exerted a considerable influence on medieval and modern thought. The most widely read of his writings today are "Confessions" and "The City of God". The preoccupation of those two works, like those of Augustine's less well-known writings, include self-examination, human motivation, dreams, scepticism, language, time, war and history. The articles collected together in this book present Augustine's ideas in a way that respects their historical context and the long history of their influence. The contributors also make clear the relevance of Augustine's ideas to recent debates in philosophy, literary studies, and the history of ideas and religion.
