RST 384 - Soul in Search of Selfhood: The Writings of St. Augustine

Description
This course will be an intensive study of some of the major writings of Augustine with a view toward obtaining a basic understanding of the main lines of his thought on human existence, free will, justice, the state, and the nature of God. We will focus on his intellectual and spiritual struggles, his mature conceptions of the Christian religion, and his integration of the cultural achievements of Mediterranean antiquity into Christianity. The emphasis will be on understanding Augustine’s individual life and thought against the background of his own culture and times. Same as LIT 384.
