Zusammenfassung: | The A. explores Augustine's political vision on a smaller, more practical scale. Augustine sees the household as a crucual sphere of political life, one essential to the cultivation of habits of humility and charity. His household politics offered his late antique Christian audience strategies to resist Rome's imperial "colonization of the imagination", and, Hughes suggests, it may offer surprising possibilities to households and families in an age of comsumerism. |
