Augustine’s Confessions [EPUB ebook] 
Conversion and Consciousness

Sokongan

Augustines Confessions: Conversion and Consciousness argues two original positions concerning the structure and meaning of the Confessions by Augustine. The structure is found to be a tool used by Augustine in his earlier pre-Confessions writings in which he uses the Allegory of the Cave in book VII of the Republic by Plato to both describe human consciousness and as a structural framework for his own life story. As with Platos allegory, Augustine then uses Books X-XIII to do, what the author calls, Scriptural Philosophical analysis of the allegorical prayer previously given. The author shows that the Confessions is really an allegorical quasi-prayer that shows Augustines state of mind or disposition through space/timeand at the same time uses different personas, schools of thought and metaphysical constructs to show the inadequacy of Platos consciousness model of the cave to truly describe human ratiocination within consciousness in its totality Synchronic-Synthetic-Triplex (SST) or body, mind, God-Will substance. Instead, Augustine demonstrates the superiority of the Christian conversion to that of the Platonic as described both by Platonic books and the books of the Platonists. The Christian conversion is based on the incarnate Wisdom of Christ Jesus within the Cave/World.
