| Zusammenfassung: | This major work constitutes a significant attempt to provide a detailed and accurate account of the character and effects of Augustine's thought as a whole. It describes the transformation of Greco-Roman philosophy into the version that was to become the most influential in the history of Western thought. Augustine weighed some of the major themes of classical philosophy and ancient culture against the truth he found in the Bible and Catholic tradition, and reformulated these in Christian dress. Approaching Augustine -- Words, signs and things -- Certainty, belief and understanding -- Soul, body and personal identity -- Will, love and right action -- Individuals, social institutions and political life -- Evil, justice and divine omnipotence -- Augustinus redivivus -- Appendix 1. Porphyry's account of the sentence in the De Magistro -- Appendix 2. Traducianism, creationism and the transmission of original sin -- Appendix 3. Augustine and Julian: aspects of the debate about sexual concupiscentia |
