This book presents the first systematic study of Augustine's insights into passions as well as his approach to the therapy of emotions and their sanctification. Analysing various phases of Augustine's writings, this work explores the systematic structure of Augustine's tenets on emotions and on freedom from passions. The general context is Augustine's philosophical and theological convictions on the issue of amor sui and amor Dei. Based upon a detailed analysis of original Latin texts and a critical examination of recent research, the author demonstrates how the language and conception of passions are tightly linked with Augustine's developing views of the philosophical paradigm of emotions and his later theological disputes with schismatics and heretics. In offering a comprehensive account of freedom from passions in Augustine's theological anthropology, this book makes a creative contribution to his understanding of the moral psychology of passions in social and political dimensions and the idea of the deification of emotions.

"Passions occupied a central place in Augustine's intellectual life, both in theory and in practice. How to free oneself from the passions relating to worldly matters and moving from egoistic desires (especially pride and the passion for domination) to the love of the divine life, became one of the main questions in Augustine's philosophical and theological tenets on emotions. This book presents the first systematic study of Augustine's conception of passions as well as his approach to salvation from their domination and the deification of passions. In addressing Augustine's developing views of the classical philosophy of emotions and his theological debate with heretics, Gao Yuan combines a critical evaluation of recent research with a rigorous philosophical analysis of the original Latin texts from the perspective of various research areas such as semantics, moral psychology, political philosophy, and theological anthropology, along with its three dimensions: soteriology, eschatology, and the doctrine of deification. The present book, grounded on the previous edition, makes a comprehensive contribution to the theoretical innovation of Augustine's doctrine of passions providing an ideal point of reference for the study of classical and medieval philosophy of emotions"--

Augustine's moral psychology was one of the richest in late antiquity, and in this book James Wetzel evaluates its development, indicating that the insights offered by Augustine on free-will have been prevented from receiving full appreciation as the result of an anachronistic distinction between theology and philosophy. He shows that it has been commonplace to divide Augustine's thought into earlier and later phases, the former being more philosophically informed than the latter. Wetzel's contention is that this division is less pronounced than it has been made out to be. The author shows that, while Augustine clearly acknowledges his differences with philosophy, he never loses his fascination with the Stoic concepts of happiness and virtue, and of the possibility of their attainment by human beings. This fascination is seen by Wetzel to extend to Augustine's writings on grace, where freedom and happiness are viewed as a recovery of virtue. The notorious dismissal of pagan virtue in 'The City of God' is part of Augustine's family quarrel with philosophers, not a rejection of philosophy per se. Augustine the theologian is thus seen to be a Platonist philosopher with a keen sense of the psychology of moral struggle.

Written in the late 4th century, "On the Freedom of the Will" by Saint Augustine is the important and influential treatise exploring the existence of God, the meaning of free will, and the definition of truth. Saint Augustine, or Augustine of Hippo, was born in 354 in the Roman province of Numidia, in what is now modern-day Algeria. He followed several religions before converting to Christianity in 386 and became one of the most significant early founders of the Christian faith. Saint Augustine wrote several influential and philosophical books on divine grace, faith, original sin, confession, the Holy Trinity, and other important doctrines of the Church. In "On the Freedom of the Will", he examines the importance of free will and contends that the root of all sin is in the choice made by man to hurt others or go against God's divine plan. Saint Augustine rejects the Greek philosophy that people were not to be blamed for things done in ignorance and instead argues that evil is a choice made with free will. It is only by choosing to do good and seeking to follow God's will that one can live without sin. This edition follows the translation of Carroll Mason Sparrow.

The present study makes several inter-related arguments that contribute to a re-interpretation of the life and thought of Augustine - as an individual, as a theologian. Scholarship has often emphasized the evident struggle with his desires and passions, those later to be defined in relation to sin; what has been much less discussed are the reasons for his persistent malaise and how it originated in his education and socialization as a Roman citizen, in the distraction of his culture no less than his personal ambitions for notoriety and success. Augustine's conversion was as much political as i.
