This second of a two-volume work provides a new understanding of
Western subjectivity as theorized in the Augustinian Rule. A
theopolitical synthesis of Antiquity, the Rule is a humble, yet
extremely influential example of subjectivity production. In these
volumes, Jodra argues that the Classical and Late-Ancient
communitarian practices along the Mediterranean provide historical
proof of a worldview in which the self and the other are not
disjunctive components, but mutually inclusive forces. The
Augustinian Rule is a culmination of this process and also the
beginning of something new: the paradigm of the monastic self as
protagonist of the new, medieval worldview. In the previous volume,
Jodra gave us the Mediterranean backstory to Augustine's Rule. In
this volume two, he develops his solution to socialism, through a
kind of Augustinian communitarianism for today, in full. These
volumes therefore restore the unity of the Hellenistic and Judaic
world as found by the first Christians, proving that the self and
the other are two essential pieces in the construction of our
world.
