一个灵魂的自传——包括第十一卷中关于时间的著名沉思。
世界历史是两个王国的斗争:地上之城与天上之城。
立场
Augustine fused Christian faith with Platonic philosophy and is often counted the most influential theologian of the Latin West. In the Confessions he explores the restless heart that finds peace only in God and analyses memory and time as a “distension” of the soul. Against the Manichaeans he held that evil has no substance of its own but is a privation of good; against the Pelagians he insisted that humans cannot be saved without divine grace. In the City of God he interprets history as the struggle between the earthly city, built on love of self, and the city of God, built on love of God.
生平与背景
Augustine was born in Thagaste in North Africa, studied rhetoric in Carthage and taught in Rome and Milan. After years as a follower of Manichaeism and an encounter with Neoplatonic writings and the preaching of Ambrose, he converted to Christianity in 386. From 395 until his death in 430, during the Vandal siege of the city, he was bishop of Hippo.
