Augustine's Confessions: Conversion and Consciousness argues two
original positions concerning the structure and meaning of the
Confessions by Augustine. The structure is found to be a tool used
by Augustine in his earlier pre-Confessions writings in which he
uses the Allegory of the Cave in book VII of the Republic by Plato
to both describe human consciousness and as a structural framework
for his own life story. As with Plato's allegory, Augustine then
uses Books X-XIII to do, what the author calls, "Scriptural
Philosophical" analysis of the allegorical prayer previously given.
The author shows that the Confessions is really an allegorical
quasi-prayer that shows Augustine's state of mind or disposition
through space/time - and at the same time uses different personas,
schools of thought and metaphysical constructs to show the
inadequacy of Plato's consciousness model of the cave to truly
describe human ratiocination within consciousness in its totality -
Synchronic-Synthetic-Triplex (SST) or body, mind, God-Will
substance. Instead, Augustine demonstrates the superiority of the
Christian conversion to that of the Platonic as described both by
Platonic books and the books of the Platonists. The Christian
conversion is based on the incarnate Wisdom of Christ Jesus within
the Cave/World.
