Perception, Sensibility, and Moral Motivation in Augustine: A Stoic-Platonic Synthesis
Byers, Sarah Catherine (Dr, Boston College, Massachusetts)
This book argues that Augustine assimilated the Stoic theory of perception into his theories of motivation, affectivity, therapy for the passions and moral progress. Using his sermons to elucidate his treatises, Sarah Catherine Byers demonstrates how Augustine enriched Stoic cognitivism with Platonism, thereby developing a coherent moral psychology.
