A theopolitical synthesis of Antiquity, the \u003ci\u003eRule\u003c\/i\u003e is a humble, yet extremely influential example of subjectivity production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn these volumes, Jodra argues that the Classical and Late-Ancient communitarian practices along the Mediterranean provide historical proof of a worldview in which the self and the other are not disjunctive components, but mutually inclusive forces. The Augustinian \u003ci\u003eRule\u003c\/i\u003e is a culmination of this process and also the beginning of something new: the paradigm of the monastic self as protagonist of the new, medieval worldview.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this volume, Jodra takes one of the most influential and pervasive commons experiments—Augustine’s \u003ci\u003eRule\u003c\/i\u003e—and gives us its Mediterranean backstory, with an eye to solving at last the riddle of socialism.
