For Augustine the world is replete with meaning; it represents not merely a collection of facts to be catalogued but a repository of truths to be discovered and discerned, a view which contrasts with the one we have inherited as a result of the thought of figures such as Descartes, Newton, and Kant. What difference would it make to see the world as created?

Matthew W. Knotts explores this question in close conversation with Augustine, according to whom our nature as God's creatures determines fundamental aspects of our identity and our knowledge. In a postmodern context informed by a renewed appreciation of the limitations of human nature and reason, Augustine once again emerges as an insightful and compelling source for further reflection.

Industry Reviews

Very few books on Augustine truthfully and precisely combine expertise in Augustine's extensive writings, Augustinian scholarship, and modern philosophy. Knotts has impressively accomplished this task in this important book. He provides a subtle and engaging application of Augustine's insights to contemporary hermeneutics and epistemology.
