Augustine and Ethics delves into the realm of ethics, exploring the life and works of Augustine of Hippo. Taking a comprehensive approach to ethics as a field of philosophical and theological inquiry, this volume offers insightful reflections on virtue and vice, love and sin, and the political implications of certain ethical stances. For Augustine, ethics was not merely theoretical; rather, it was deeply rooted in the concrete realities of human existence. He believed that ethical solutions should be practical and applicable to everyday life.
This volume brings Augustine's ethical arguments to life by linking them to contemporary concerns such as ministry, healthcare, diet, and incarceration. The essays collected herein showcase the enduring relevance of Augustine's work, even in contexts vastly different from his own era and context.
The first section establishes the foundation of Augustine's ethical framework by examining the principles underlying his views on morality, self-formation, dominance, and abuse. The subsequent three sections focus on the themes of love, sin, and politics. The final section sheds light on the consequences of Augustine's ethical thinking in the modern world, with an eye toward how pastors preach, how physicians heal, how prisoners suffer, and even how we should approach the ethics of eating.
In conclusion, Augustine and Ethics provides a valuable exploration of ethics in the life and works of Augustine of Hippo. By adopting a global perspective and connecting his ethical insights to contemporary concerns, this volume offers a rich and thought-provoking examination of the enduring significance of Augustine's ethical philosophy.
