Description

Explore the foundational shift in political thought with St Augustine of Hippo: The Christian Transformation of Political Philosophy. As part of the Continuum Studies in Philosophy series, this work examines how Augustine became the first thinker to develop a distinctively Christian social and political philosophy. By blending Platonism and Stoicism with biblical and Pauline concepts of sin, grace, and predestination, Augustine provides a radical departure from classical political understanding. This text examines his view that humanity is not perfectible through moral communities, as he argues that humankind is fallen and driven by self-love and destructive impulses. This book is an essential resource for students and scholars of religion, philosophy, and history. It offers a deep look into how Augustine redefined the role of the State and the nature of human society through a theological lens. Perfect for those studying the history of Christian thought and its impact on Western political structures.
