Augustine's City of God has profoundly influenced the course of
Western political philosophy, but there are few guides to its
labyrinthine argumentation that hold together the delicate
interplay of religion and philosophy in Augustine's thought. The
essays in this volume offer a rich examination of those themes,
using the central, contested distinction between a heavenly city on
earthly pilgrimage and an earthly city bound for perdition to
elaborate aspects of Augustine's political and moral vision. Topics
discussed include Augustine's notion of the secular, his critique
of pagan virtue, his departure from classical eudaimonism, his
mythology of sin, his dystopian politics, his surprising attention
to female bodies, his moral psychology, his valorisation of love,
his critique of empire and his conception of a Christian
philosophy. Together the essays advance our understanding of
Augustine's most influential work and provide a rich overview of
Augustinian political theology and its philosophical implications.
