Omschrijving
Samenvatting:B. perceptively describes the four-fold function of imagination, not the least of which is the way it arranges memories and their meanings in accordance with the truth. 'Memory and imagination lie at the heart of the Confessions, for together they overcome the problem raised implicity by the De doctrina christiana: Leaving behind the signs to apprehend the things themselves' (221). B. thus moves beyond definition to the way that Augustine presents imagination in the Confessions.
