| Sumario: | Donald Burt offers here an overall picture of the ethical and political thought of the greatest of the Western Fathers. This volume lucidly presents Augustine's philosophy of history, ethics, and social philosophy with an emphasis on frienship as the key to Augustine's view of the family and the state. Burt's lifelong familiarity with Augustine allows him to enter into the spirit of the bishop's thought and provide Augustinian insights into various problematic areas of contemporary social and political thought, such as the equality of women, the relation of law and violence, the morality of war, capital punishment, and religious tolerance. |
