Using his sermons to elucidate his treatises, Sarah Catherine Byers demonstrates how Augustine enriched Stoic cognitivism with Platonism to develop a fuller and coherent theory of action. That theory underlies his account of moral development, including his account of the mind's reception of grace. By analyzing Augustine's engagement with Cicero, Seneca, Plotinus, Ambrose, Jerome, Origen and Philo of Alexandria, Byers sheds new light on a major thinker of the early Christian world whose work is of critical importance for understanding key and recurring themes in Western philosophy.Perception, Sensibility, & Moral Motivation in Augustine189/.2PHI002000bisacshByers Sarah Catherine1972-478325UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910816523303321Perception sensibility, and moral motivation in Augustine264726UNINA
