Augustine's Invention of the Inner Self: The Legacy of a Christian Platonist
Cary, Phillip (Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Eastern College)
After surveying the idea of inwardness in Augustine's predecessors, Cary offers a reexamination of the inner self in Augustine's own writings. He contends that the crucial Book 7 of the Confessions is not a report of his "conversion", but an explanation of his intellectual development over time.
