Author Description

St. Augustine's Theory of Time by Catherine Rau is a comprehensive exploration of the philosophical and theological ideas surrounding time put forth by the famous Christian theologian and philosopher, Saint Augustine of Hippo. The book delves into Augustine's concept of time as a subjective experience that is intimately tied to the human psyche, and how this understanding of time shapes his views on the nature of God, salvation, and the human condition. Rau examines Augustine's theories in depth, drawing upon his major works including Confessions and City of God, and provides a critical analysis of his ideas in the context of the broader philosophical and theological traditions of his time. The book is an essential read for scholars and students of philosophy, theology, and intellectual history, as well as anyone interested in the enduring legacy of one of the most influential thinkers in Western history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
