"In realising the abyssal peril facing one's being, one is called into a dynamic method of exploration, dialectic, which is significant in terms of both substantive philosophical content and method. This work considers the fundamentally "oppositional" structure of reality, viewing Augustine as a "Christian Heraclitus" and focusing on his conception of dialectic"--

This work considers the fundamentally “oppositional” structure of reality, viewing Augustine as a “Christian Heraclitus” and focusing on his conception of dialectic.

Matthew W. Knotts situates Augustine's anthropology within a classical Roman philosophical context, while characterising his intellect by continuous questioning. In this way, the book grounds a constructive philosophical-theological enquiry in a historical-critical study of the sources and their context.

On Interrogation, Introspection, Dialectic and the Ineluctable Polarity of Being and Knowing offers readers an insightful exploration of these themes, providing a nuanced perspective on Augustine’s intellectual legacy.
