Einheit und Vielheit als metaphysisches ProblemEinheit und Vielheit als (edited book)Mohr Siebeck. 2011._English summary:_ Metaphysics sees itself as a theory of reality: In comparison to everything which presents itself to our senses or our everyday common sense as real, metaphysics would like to teach us, giving reasons, what it actually means to be real, how reality is constructed and what its fundamental structures are. In order to do so, in its classic form it is based on a first or a principle. This volume focuses on the dual terms of unity and plurality, which are pivotal for a principle-or…Read more

7Augustine on Self-Knowledge and Human SubjectivityIn Ursula Renz (ed.), Self-Knowledge: A History, Oxford University Press Usa. pp. 96-113. 2016.This chapter explores Augustine’s understanding of the nature of self-knowledge within his theory of finite subjectivity. It examines the relation of self-knowledge and self-transcendence in his early Plotinian-influenced thinking and the development of his conception of the human mind on the model of the divine Trinity. It traces Augustine’s distinction in _De Trinitate_ of three relational elements of the human mind that compose a trinitarian structure and his distinction of two levels of the …Read more

The Bible, by contrast, frequently mentions the feeling of sorrow, and Christianity, unlike Stoic ethical ideals, assigns sorrow a positive significance—at least to a degree.While it is true that the Gospels generally prefer to paint a picture of Christ as a quiet teacher and master, a few pericopes—especially within the G…Read more

Augustine and PhilosophyLexington Books. 2010.The essays in this book, by a variety of leading Augustine scholars, examine not only Augustine's multifaceted philosophy and its relation to his epoch-making theology, but also his practice as a philosopher, as well as his relation to other philosophers both before and after him. Thus the collection shows that Augustine's philosophy remains an influence and a provocation in a wide variety of settings today.

65Self-knowledge and the Sciences in Augustine’s Early inkingThe Paideia Archive: Twentieth World Congress of Philosophy 9 8-12. 1998.The idea of a firm connection of the seven artes liberales came first into being in Augustine's early concept of education. Whereas this idea has been analyzed primarily in view of its philosophical sources, this paper is supposed to clarify its internal logic. The main feature of Augustine's concept is the distinction between the two projects of a critique of reason and of a metaphysics, and the coordination of these projects within a treatise on theodicy. Augustine systematizes the disciplinae…Read more
