Sommario/riassunto

The essays in this book, by a variety of leading Augustine scholars, examine not only Augustine's multifaceted philosophy and its relation to his epoch-making theology, but also his practice as a philosopher, as well as his relation to other philosophers both before and after him.



Thus the collection shows that Augustine's philosophy remains an influence and a provocation in a wide variety of settings today.
