Summary: | D. uses these pages of the 'City of God' to develop Augustine's understanding of the role of the will in created beings (angels and humans), whereby the "judgment of the orientation of the will is made in terms of the objects of its love..." (P. 104). D. contrasts Augustine's understanding of the will with that of the Greek philosophy (cf. pp. 93f and 103f), thus highlighting his emphasis on the order of love. |
