Description
This work considers the fundamentally "oppositional" structure of reality, viewing Augustine as a "Christian Heraclitus" and focusing on his conception of dialectic.
Matthew W. Knotts situates Augustine's anthropology within a classical Roman philosophical context, while characterizing his intellect by continuous questioning. In this way, the book grounds a constructive philosophical-theological enquiry in an historical-critical study of the sources and their context.
