Inner Grace: Augustine in the Traditions of Plato and Paul/Outward Signs: The Powerlessness of External Things in Augustine's Thought

摘要

[...] Cary's argument that we know people by having faith in their words and not by seeking to know the content of their soul is critiquing Augustine with himself, as Augustine says that we know people's thoughts and emotions through their words (On Christian Doctrine, bk. 2). [...] Augustine is the great defender of the rationality of faith, especially in the City of God, where he argues that humans know almost nothing for certain but live daily by faith in others.
