This first 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 this volume, Jodra
takes one of the most influential and pervasive commons
experiments-Augustine's Rule-and gives us its Mediterranean
backstory, with an eye to solving at last the riddle of socialism.
In volume two, he will present his solution in full, as a kind of
Augustinian communitarianism for today. 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.
