Description

Explore Augustine's transformative mystical experience at Ostia, one of Western philosophy's most significant accounts of spiritual transcendence. This scholarly work examines Augustine's visionary narrative as recorded in the Confessions, tracing connections between his contemplative mysticism and classical Platonist philosophy. John Peter Kenney investigates how Augustine's Christian mystical vision builds upon Platonic thought whilst ultimately transcending its limitations, arguing that Platonism cannot fully preserve the deeper truths it foreshadows. Essential reading for theologians, philosophers, and historians seeking to understand the foundations of Christian contemplative practice and Augustine's enduring influence on Western mystical traditions.

Key Features

Augustine's mystical experience at Ostia is examined as a foundational account in Western contemplative philosophy and Christian spiritual practice.

Kenney explores the complex relationship between Augustine's Christian mysticism and classical Platonist philosophy in the Confessions.

The book argues that whilst Platonism shapes Augustine's mystical vision, it ultimately fails to retain the theological truths it anticipates.

Published by Routledge, this scholarly work appeals to theologians, philosophers, historians and students of Augustine's spiritual thought.

Used book in good condition, offering an affordable entry point to this influential study of early Christian mysticism.
