Description
Summary:(p.36) Augustine is 'modern' because he suggests to the contemporary historicism a dynamic and deeply anthropological idea of temporality: time is the space of human freedom. Augustine's conception of the 'two cities' represents a pttern of eternal value for whatever true contemporary conception of society and politics: not in a mostly theological key, but a philosophical one, thanks to an implicitly 'secular' conception of philosophy corresponding to the dimension of freedom, then to the responsability of reason and human will. Vico and Nietzsche will point out an ingenious prosecution and a great stimulating rebellion of the Augustinian way.
