Description
Augustine's On the Trinity is a foundational work in philosophy that explores how to understand God through an analogy with the human mind. This treatise offers a unique approach, addressing the 'problem of other minds' and proposing the 'argument from analogy' as a response.
Within its pages, Augustine discusses various subjects including the nature of the mind and body, the doctrine of 'illumination', and thinking as inner speech. Gareth Matthews provides a historical and philosophical introduction to place Augustine's arguments in context and assess their influence on later thinkers.
This volume presents the philosophical section of On the Trinity, offering insight into one of the most significant works in the history of philosophy.
