After setting Augustine’s thought firmly within the context of
his life and times, Ryan Topping examines in turn the causes of
education (the purposes, pedagogy, curriculum, and limits of
learning) as Augustine understood them. Augustine’s towering
influence over Medieval and Renaissance theorists – from Hugh of
St Victor, to Aquinas, to Erasmus – is traced. The book concludes
by drawing Augustine into dialogue with contemporary philosophers,
exploring the influence of his meditations on higher education and
suggesting how his ideas can reinvigorate for our generation the
project of liberal learning.
