The Reading Augustine series presents concise, personal readings of
St. Augustine of Hippo from leading philosophers and religious
scholars. John Rist takes the reader through Augustine's ethics,
the arguments he made and how he arrived at them, and shows how
this moral philosophy remains vital for us today. Rist identifies
Augustine's challenge to all ideas of moral autonomy, concentrating
especially on his understanding of humility as an honest appraisal
of our moral state. He looks at thinkers who accept parts of
Augustine's evaluation of the human condition but lapse into
bleakness and pessimism since for them God has disappeared. In the
concluding parts of the book, Rist suggests how a developed version
of Augustine's original vision can be applied to the complexities
of modern life while also laying out, on the other hand, what our
moral universe would look like without Augustine's contribution to
it.
