Informationen zum Autor Edited by Phillip Cary; John Doody and Kim Paffenroth - Contributions by Johannes Brachtendorf; John D. Caputo; Jesse Couenhoven; Alexander R. Eodice; Wayne J. Hankey; John Peter Kenney; Paul A. Macdonald Jr; Gareth B. Matthews; Roland J. Teske; Frederick Klappentext 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. Inhaltsverzeichnis Chapter 1 Introduction Part 2 Part I.
