Augustine's Philosophy: An Analysis of Utopia in The City of God
This sixteen-page graduate paper examines Saint Augustines philosophy as expressed in The City of God. The author explains Augustines responses to efforts to establish utopia on earth, analyzes his discussion of pagan motivations, the limits of pagan philosophy, the duties of Christians in the earthly city, and other related philosophical and religious issues. In the process, he discusses Augustines views of aspirations for earthly utopia in the context of Christian theology and the teachings of Jesus Christ.
