Animals in the Military by Alexis Burling
From Robert Grosseteste to Jean-Francois Lyotard, Augustine's suggestion that time is a dilation of the soul (distentio animi) has been taken up as a seminal and controversial time-concept, yet in The Space of Time, David van Dusen argues that this 'dilation' has been fundamentally misinterpreted. Time in Confessions XI is a dilation of the senses--in beasts, as in humans. And Augustine's time-concept in Confessions XI is not Platonic--but in schematic terms, Epicurean. Identifying new influences on the Confessions--from Aristoxenus to Lucretius--while keeping Augustine's phenomenological interpreters in view, The Space of Time is a path-breaking work on Confessions X to XI and a ranging contribution to the history of the concept of time.| SKU | Unavailable |
