The Confessions discloses Augustine's views about the nature of infancy and the acquisition of language, his own sinful adolescence, his early struggle with the problem of evil, his conversion to Christianity, his puzzlement about the capacities of human memory and the nature of time, and his views about creation and biblical interpretation. The essays contained in this volume, by some of the most distinguished recent and contemporary thinkers in the field, insightfully explore these Augustinian themes not only with an eye to historical accuracy but also to gauge the philosophical acumen of Augustine's reflections.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 228mmItem Length: 170mmItem Width: 17mmItem Weight: 327gBook Series: Critical Essays on the Classics SeriesRelease Year: 2006 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
