Augustine Arg Phil

First Published in 1999. The purpose of this series is to provide a contemporary assessment and history of the entire course of philosophical thought. Each book constitutes a detailed, critical introduction to the work of a philosopher of major influence and significance. This volume observes Augustine from a stance outside that Christian theological tradition, the author’s stance of an analytic philosopher and who knows something of Augustine’s Greek predecessors in philosophy but not much of his medieval or renaissance successors. <p>I Life and works II Against the sceptics III The nature of speech IV God and bad V Defending free will VI Free will at bay VII First and last things VIII Meditations on beginnings IX More meditations on time X A priestly life XI Christian society</p>
