This title was first published in 2000: Augustine of Hippo (354-430
CE) - Bishop, theologian, philosopher, and rhetorician - has left a
rich legacy for reflection upon relationships between Christianity
and culture, between Christian catechesis and liberal education,
and between faith and reason. Contemporary educational institutions
have begun to explore their roots, digging into their intellectual
traditions for the resources for renewal of liberal education.
Augustine and Liberal Education sheds light on liberal education
past and present, from an Augustinian point of view. Ranging from
historical investigations of particular themes and issues in the
thought of Saint Augustine, to reflections on the role of tradition
and community and the challenges and opportunities facing
universities in the next century, the contributors return to the
sources of traditional reflection whilst exploring contemporary
issues of education and 'the good life'. Essays on Augustinian
inquiry in medieval and modern eras address critical questions on
the role of rhetoric, reading, and authority in education, on the
social context of learning, and on the relationship between liberal
education and properly Christian catechesis. Contemporary questions
on liberal education from philosophical, political, theological,
and ethical perspectives are then explored in the essays which move
from the past to the present. This book offers a valuable
contribution to the growing scholarship on Catholic universities
and on Augustine of Hippo, engaging in 'Augustinian inquiry' and
pointing to possibilities for renewal in liberal education in the
twenty-first century.
