    Five interpretations of Augustine's theory of time in Confessions XI are discussed. A distinction is made between the dimensionality, the sequentiality, and the unidirectionality of time; and various arguments are given for the thesis that Augustine regarded time as subjective in only the second and third senses. Then it is shown that for Augustine the heaven of heavens and the memory come as close as creatures can to a Godlike view of time--as extended but non-sequential .

    The Text of Augustine's Confessions X 40.65
    Hermes 125 (2): 252-253. 1997.
    A defense is provided for repunctuating a sentence toward the end of Confessions X 40.65 to yield the following translation: "Neither did I myself discover them--that is, that ability of mine by which I did it--nor did that ability itself. Thou wast the one . . . ."

    Gregory of nyssa
    with S. A. U.
    Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy. 2006.
    This is a general account of the Cappadocian Christian Father Gregory of Nyssa (c. 335 - c. 395 CE) as a philosopher. The article is divided into a discussion of his life and his views on God, the world, humanity, history, knowledge, and virtue. A common thread, which would later be systematized in the Palamite essence-energies distinction, is traced in all these topics. Of particular interest to philosophers are comparisons with John Locke and Immanuel Kant.
