Disciplining Christians reconsiders several of Augustine's most well-known letter exchanges. It reads these correspondences with close attention to conventional epistolary norms and practices, in an effort to identify and analyze Augustine's adaptation of the traditionally friendly letter exchange to the correction of perceived error in the Christian community.

This volume presents the first book-length study of Augustine's philosophy of language. Taking as its theme the relation of language and thought, it highlights the tension in Augustine's philosophy between a pointed epistemological devaluation of language and a profound consciousness of its ineluctability in tracing the development of his linguistic and cognitive theories. Philosophical-historical considerations brought into play include the Aristotelian-Stoic foundations of Augustine's epistemology and philosophy of language as mediated through Cicero as well as the critical engagement of medieval philosophers such as Gregorius Ariminensis and Nicolaus Cusanus with central Augustinian tenets. Finally, a look at selected texts of Johann Gottlieb Fichte and Wilhelm von Humboldt provides a modern critical perspective on Augustine's philosophy of language.Es gibt bisher keine Monographie, die sich exklusiv der Augustinischen Sprachphilosophie widmet. Gegenstand dieses Buches sind die philosophischen Reflexionen Augustins zum Thema ›Sprache und Erkenntnis‹. Es zeigt Augustin als Denker, der sich in einem Spannungsverhältnis erkenntnistheoretischer Abwertung der Sprache einerseits und dem Bewuîtsein der Unverzichtbarkeit der Sprache andererseits bewegt. Als philosophiehistorische Studie beschreibt die Arbeit zunächst die - besonders durch Cicero vermittelten - aristotelisch-stoischen Grundlagen und Voraussetzungen der Augustinischen Erkenntnis- und Sprach-theorie, um sie dann in verschiedenen Texten Augustins nachzuweisen. Vor diesem Hintergrund analysiert der Band die Entwicklung der Sprach- und Erkenntnisauffassung Augustins. In einem weiteren Kapitel wird sodann die kritische Auseinandersetzung mittelalterlicher Autoren mit Augustinischen Theoremen untersucht - exemplarisch analysiert werden Texte Gregors von Rimini und Nikolaus' von Kues. Der letzte Abschnitt blickt - stets mit Rücksicht auf die historische Distanz - anhand ausgewählter Texte Johann Gottlieb Fichtes und Wilhelm von Humboldts aus der Perspektive neuzeitlicher Kontraste kritisch auf die Sprach-theorie Augustins zurück.

The essays in this volume take stock of recent scholarly developments and revisit old assumptions about the significance of Augustine of Hippo for political thought. They do so from many different perspectives, examining the anthropological and theological underpinnings of Augustine's thought, his critique of politics, his development of his own political thought, and some of the later manifestations or uses of his thought in the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and today. This new vision is at once more bracing, more hopeful, and more diverse than earlier readings could have allowed.

Augustine of Hippo (AD 354-430) is arguably the most controversial Christian thinker in history. His positions on philosophical and theological concerns have been the subjects of intense scrutiny and criticism from his lifetime to the present.Augustine and his Critics gathers twelve specialists' responses to modern criticisms of his thought, covering: personal and religious freedom; the self and God; sexuality, gender and the body; spirituality; asceticism; cultural studies; and politics.Stimulating and insightful, the collection offers forceful arguments for neglected histori
