Augustine, Desire, and the Restless Heart

from One Philosopher At A Time · host Jellypod

This episode introduces Augustine of Hippo and explores why Confessions is more than autobiography: it is a deep inquiry into memory, desire, sin, and self-knowledge. It also explains his ideas about evil as privation, divided will, free will, grace, and the enduring influence of the City of God.
