Description
Summary:Surely an appropriately full study of Augustine's view of time would include his examination of providential history and the theology of creation- that is to say of things in time- both from a philosophical and dogmatic vantage. In this paper I merely attend to his remarkable discussion on time in book XI of the Confessions, a discussion so complex and subtle that even with such a limited scope my essay has not critically exhausted his content (p.223). Je me demande, pour ma part, si l'on ne complique pas l'analyse et l'interprétation de Conf. XI, aussi bien en faisant abstraction de la problématique générale d'Augustin, qu' en soumettant la méditation d'Augustin sur le temps à une 'grille' kantienne ou autre.
