Series: Reading Augustine

This work considers the fundamentally “oppositional” structure of reality, viewing Augustine as a “Christian Heraclitus” and focusing on his conception of dialectic.

Matthew W. Knotts situates Augustine's anthropology within a classical Roman philosophical context, while characterizing his intellect by continuous questioning. In this way, the book grounds a constructive philosophical-theological enquiry in an historical-critical study of the sources and their context.

Reviews for On Interrogation, Introspection, Dialectic and the Ineluctable Polarity of Being and Knowing

Confronting the deep division between the self and the exterior world, this work focuses on the therapeutic and psychological aspects of philosophy and theology. This challenging undertaking opens a dialogue with a surprising pair of thinkers, Heraclitus and Augustine, on what it means to be human, as revealed by the pandemic. * Naoki Kamimura, Tokyo Gakugei University, Japan *
