The Dialectical Self and the Abyss Concluding Thoughts Bibliography IndexReviewsMatthew Knotts alerts the reader to challenging aspects of being human in Augustine's dialectical approach to the pursuit of self-knowledge within God. He engages in a dialogue between Augustine, himself, and Heraclitus' openness for contradicting phenomena within the universe. In discussion with ‘the complete Augustinian overdetermined portrait of the self’, he explores in imaginative prose the bishop’s efforts to examine the abyss of the self and being human. * Martin Claes, Tilburg University, The Netherlands * Confronting the deep division between the self and the exterior world, this work focuses on the therapeutic and psychological aspects of philosophy and theology. This challenging undertaking opens a dialogue with a surprising pair of thinkers, Heraclitus and Augustine, on what it means to be human, as revealed by the pandemic. * Naoki Kamimura, Tokyo Gakugei University, Japan * Author InformationMatthew W. Knotts teaches Theology at Loyola Academy, USA. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
