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)
Phillip Cary argues that Augustine invented the concept of the self as a private inner space - a space into which one can enter and in which one can find God. This study pinpoints what was new about his philosophy of inwardness and situates it within a narrative of his intellectual development and relationship to the Platonist tradition.
