Author Biography Robert Meagher is Professor of Humanities, Hampshire College. Review [A] fine book . . . rich, literate, beautifully written. . . . Meagher puts it well in his final chapter: the great teacher is one who excites power. Plotinus is one; Augustine another. . . . and the unquestionable merit of Meaghers book is that it too excites power. --Robert J. OConnell, Fordham UniversityMeaghers work is extremely insightful and original. . . . The Augustine he describes is the one who stands at the origin of autobiography in Western culture and at the roots of contemporary existentialism where man has became once again a question to himself. --John Dunne, The University of Notre DameThat Meagher helps us to come closer to Augustine is one of the many virtues of his book. . . . Meaghers book, in a thoroughly Augustinian spirit, is a work of love, and thus kindles love in return. . . . Will be of interest to all readers who are concerned with the possibilities of spirit in our time. --William Barrett Review Quote That Meagher helps us to come closer to Augustine is one of the many virtues of his book. . . . Meaghers book, in a thoroughly Augustinian spirit, is a work of love, and thus kindles love in return. . . . Will be of interest to all readers who are concerned with the possibilities of spirit in our time. --William Barrett Details ISBN0872204456 Pages 315 Publisher Hackett Publishing Co, Inc ISBN-10 0872204456 ISBN-13 9780872204454 Format Hardcover Year 1998 Publication Date 1998-09-01 Author Robert Meagher Series Hackett Classics Language English Media Book DOI 10.1604/9780872204454 UK Release Date 1998-09-01 Imprint Hackett Publishing Co, Inc Place of Publication Cambridge, MA Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 1998-09-01 NZ Release Date 1998-09-01 US Release Date 1998-09-01 Alternative 9780872204447 Edited by Robert Meagher DEWEY 128.2 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
