About the book

This concise biography introduces readers to Augustine of Hippo through his own writings, in which he dedicates an enormous amount of energy seeking to understand himself and exploring human nature. Augustines writings place the self at center stage and prize introspection and reflection as ways to come to appreciate that self. His emphasis on interiority has had a profound impact upon the West, leading commentators to attribute to Augustine to creation of The "Western self" --Book Jacket.
