| Résumé: | In a chapter devoted to post-Aristotelian Greek thought and the political thought of St. Augustine, Schall continues the line of argument begun in his first chapters, maintaning that what is most imporant in this period is the demonstration found in St. Augustine's City of God that the fully good society is not to be found in this world. Schall speaks of the 'realism' by which he means the honest acknowledgement of the imperfection and sinfulness of human reality, of Augustine as his great contribution to the line of argumentation which Schall sees deveoloping throughout the history of political thought in the West. 5Angelicum 1989,357). |
