Derek Cheung
reviewed Augustine and Modernity on February 05, 2011 Augustine and Modernity
A very erudite discussion of Augustine and his relation to stoicism and the modern retrieval of stoicism in Descartes. Hanby critiques the common misconception that Augustine is merely a 'precursor' to the modern conception of the self, which even Charles Taylor seems to misplace as well in his _Sources of the Self_. Hanby provides a careful exposition of Augustine's _De Trinitate_ which serves as a helpful guide for the rest of Augustine's thought regarding the Trinity and how the self is an image of the love the Father has for the Son in the Spirit. A gorgeous, challenging, and highly recommended work!
