Book Description
Augustine's On the Trinity is a major statement of his thought, in which he develops his philosophy of mind. It had a considerable influence on medieval philosophy, and it continues to interest philosophers today. This edition presents it together with a philosophical and historical introduction by Gareth Matthews, and useful notes on further reading.
Review
'Augustine as a philosopher rather than a theologian ... an unusual and refreshing approach ... McKenna's translation is eminently readable, while remaining close to the original meaning of the text ... This book contrives to restore Augustine to his place among philosophers without denying his status as a theologian.' -- Philosophical Writings
'This book is well worth reading not only as an impressive display of the intellectual powers of a giant of western thought, but also as a reminder that the middle ages were not the philosophical desert that so many contemporaries seem to think they were.' -- Practical Philosophy
About the Author
Gareth B. Matthews, Professor of Philosophy, University of Massachussetts, Amherst, has written widely on Augustine and on medieval philosophy generally.
