Description
Excerpt from St. Augustine: Aspects of His Life and Thought
St. Augustine has been described as the first modern man. A statement of that kind can always be attacked from various points of view; it can also be defended. I quote it here neither for attack nor for defence, but simply to focus an impression. It may serve, that is, to suggest a certain unity of purpose underlying the series of studies here offered to the reader. For they will deal, at least chie?y, with those aspects of his life and thought which appeal most readily to us as moderns.
