Journey into Augustine's Confessions

Although prior reading is not required, we will explore Book 3 of Augustine’s Confessions for those who wish to delve deeper into the text. About seven participants will present and discuss themes and ideas from Book 3, offering a range of perspectives that enrich our collective understanding.

To further illuminate Augustine’s thoughts, we’ll take brief detours into the philosophies of Plato and Plotinus, providing valuable context.

This interactive session offers a wonderful opportunity to reflect, share insights, and engage in thoughtful dialogue with others.

Join us on a journey through the rich tapestry of thought, spanning from the late Greek and Roman eras to the dawn of early modern philosophy. Discover how ancient ideas laid the groundwork for the intellectual transformations that shaped the modern world.
