Perception, Sensibility, and Moral Motivation in Augustine - A Stoic-Platonic Synthesis (Hardcover, New)

This book argues that Augustine assimilated the Stoic theory of
perception into his theories of motivation, affectivity, therapy
for the passions and moral progress. Using his sermons to elucidate
his treatises, Sarah Catherine Byers demonstrates how Augustine
enriched Stoic cognitivism with Platonism to develop a fuller and
coherent theory of action. That theory underlies his account of
moral development, including his account of the mind's reception of
grace. By analyzing Augustine's engagement with Cicero, Seneca,
Plotinus, Ambrose, Jerome, Origen and Philo of Alexandria, Byers
sheds new light on a major thinker of the early Christian world
whose work is of critical importance for understanding key and
recurring themes in Western philosophy.
