Philip Burton explores Augustine's treatment of language in his
Confessions - a major work of Western philosophy and literature,
with continuing intellectual importance. One of Augustine's key
concerns is the story of his own encounters with language: from his
acquisition of language as a child, through his career as schoolboy
orator then star student at Carthage, to professor of rhetoric at
Carthage and Rome. Having worked his way up to the eminence of
Court Orator to the Roman Emperor at Milan, Augustine rediscovered
the catholic Christianity of his childhood - and decided that this
was incompatible with his rhetorical profession. Over the next ten
years, he gradually reinvents himself as a different sort of
language professional: a Christian intellectual, commentating on
Scripture and preaching to his flock.
