Augustine of Hippo: His Philosophy in a Historical and Contemporary Perspective / Virgilio Pacioni

Saint Augustine's philosophy, often only studied in a particular historical context, has once again shown itself to be extraordinarily modern. Virgilio Pacioni, an Augustine scholar at the Patristic Institute Augustinianum in Rome, takes advantage of two avenues of interpretation to examine Augustine's philosophical thought: an anthropological one benefiting from the innovative analyses of Nello Capriani, and a formal, logical one enhanced by the contribution of Michele Malatesta.

Virgilio Pacioni, O.S.A., Visiting Professor at the Augustinianum Patristic Institute of the Pontificial Lateran University, is also the author of L'unità teoretica del De Ordine di S. Agostino (Rome, 1996) and has published numerous articles on Augustinian Philosophy.
