Reconsidering the Sacralization Thesis; Notes; Bibliography; IndexAugustine and Roman Virtue seeks to correct what the author sees as a fundamental misapprehension in medieval thought, a misapprehension that fuels further problems and misunderstandings in the historiography of philosophy. This misapprehension is the assumption that the development of certain themes associated with medieval philosophy is due, primarily if not exclusively, to extra-philosophical religious commitments rather than philosophical argumentation, referred to here as the 'sacralization thesis'. Brian Harding explores this problem through a detailed reading of Augustine's City of GodContinuum studies in philosophy.Kingdom of GodApologeticsVirtueElectronic books.Kingdom of God.Apologetics.Virtue.179/.9092Harding Brian897903MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459216503321Augustine and Roman virtue2006074UNINA
