Description
Summary:While Mackey's posthumous study is concerned, as its subtitle suggests, with 'the Augustinian tradition' -- he frequently refers to Anselm, Aquinas and Kierkegaard, and has chapters on Anselm and Gaunilon, Bonaventure, and Duns Scotus -- the first chapter is devoted to Augustine himself, and specifically, to the De libero arbitrio II. See "The Idea of Order at Hippo Regius: Augustine's Proof of God's Existence" (pp. 7-45). Mackey concludes, in the volume's final sentence: "This conjunction of an understanding founded in faith and a faith that craves understanding is the blessed rage for order that inspires and informs the Augustinian tradition" (p. 170).
