Description: The Conversion and Therapy of Desire by Mark J. Boone Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description An exploration of St Augustines insights into human desire and happiness, as revealed by his earliest theological writings. Publisher Description The first fruits of the literary career of St Augustine, the great theologian and Christian philosopher par excellence, are the dialogues he wrote at Cassiciacum in Italy following his famous conversion in Milan in AD 386. These four little books, largely neglected by scholars, take up the ancient philosophical project of identifying the principles and practices that heal human desires in order to attain happiness, renewing this philosophical endeavour with insights from Christian theology. Augustines later books, such as the Confessions, would continue this project of healing desire, as would the writings of others including Boethius, Anselm, and Aquinas. Mark J. Boones The Conversion and Therapy of Desire investigates the roots of this project at Cassiciacum, where Augustine is developing a Christian theology of desire, informed by Neoplatonism but transformed by Christian teaching and practices. Author Biography Dr Mark J. Boone (PhD, Philosophy, Baylor University) is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Forman Christian College. He is also an occasional book reviewer, a blog writer and the author of several articles on philosophy and religion.
