Description
No philosopher speaks more immediately to the excesses of our twenty-first-century world and the limits of human reason than Augustine.
Augustine’s political philosophy is pregnant with arguments that racked not only Christian Europe but also much of the modern world. In On Augustine Alan Ryan carefully lays out the complicated political, philosophical and religious context of Augustine and traces the history of his impact on Western thought both within and beyond the Christian tradition.
