Augustine's philosophy of life involves mediation, reviewing one's
past and exercises for self-improvement. Centuries after Plato and
before Freud he invented a 'spiritual exercise' in which every man
and woman is able, through memory, to reconstruct and reinterpret
life's aims. In this 2010 book, Brian Stock examines Augustine's
unique way of blending literary and philosophical themes. He
proposes a new interpretation of Augustine's early writings,
establishing how the philosophical soliloquy (soliloquium) has
emerged as a mode of inquiry and how it relates to problems of
self-existence and self-history. The book also provides clear
analysis of inner dialogue and discourse, and how, as inner
dialogue complements and finally replaces outer dialogue, a style
of thinking emerges, arising from ancient sources and a religious
attitude indebted to Judeo-Christian tradition.
