The Conversion and Therapy of Desire

Více o knize

Exploring themes of knowledge, ethics, and the nature of evil, this collection of dialogues reflects St. Augustine's early thoughts following his conversion. Written in Italy, they delve into the relationship between God and the soul while addressing ancient philosophical questions about human desire and happiness. By integrating Christian theology into these discussions, Augustine lays the groundwork for his later works and those of subsequent thinkers like Boethius and Aquinas, continuing the pursuit of understanding and healing human desires.
