<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>When this book was originally published in 1969, it added fuel to a controversy (sparked by the author in a previous work) that continues unabated to the present day.Now, available for the first time in a paperback edition, it offers a new generation of readers a detailed exposition of the Confessions, showing how the Plotinian view of man as a fallen soul is present in this work and, furthermore, that it is the key to its interpretation.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>. . .structured according to the sequence of thirteen books of the <i>Confessions</i>...it constitutes a running commentary on this great patristic work...People interested in the philosophy (as contrasted with the religious thought) of Augustine will find this book the best interpretation of the <i>Confessions </i>that we have in English.-- "Journal of the History of Philosophy"<br><br>This is an important book. O'Connell systematically analyzes the <i>Confessions</i> in light of Augustine's Plotinian anthropology...It is exciting to see an argument presented in the strong and rigorous way O'Connell does, and while his thesis is sure to stir debate, it is safe to say that anyone proposing another general field theory of the <i>Confessions </i>will have a major task being both as economical and as comprehensive as O'Connell is. The book has many special excellences that add credibility to the over-all interpretation...-- "Church History"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Robert J. O'Connell, S. J. </b>was a Professor of Philosophy at Fordham University. His has five publications on St. Augustine, as well as several studies of Plato, William James, and Teilhard de Chardin.
