Self and City in the Thought of Saint Augustine explores the
analogy between the self and political society in the thought of
St. Augustine of Hippo. This analogy is an important theme in the
history of political thought. Attempts have been made to understand
the state by examining the soul (since Plato), the body (as in
medieval theories of the body politic) and the person (surviving to
this day in such concepts as international legal personality). This
book aims to reinstate the Augustinian part of the story. It argues
that Augustine develops three analogies between self and city, as a
society ordered by love: self-love in the case of the Earthly City;
divided but improving love in the Pilgrim City; and love of others
and of God in the City of God. It supplies thereby an overview of
Augustine's intellectual 'system' as it touches upon theology,
psychology and anthropology, as well as politics, and also provides
a new interpretation of Augustine's important definition of the
republic.
