Thesis (DTh)--Stellenbosch University, 2003
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of this research is neither to compare the theologies of Augustine and Calvin, nor to establish a theory that reveals Augustine's influence on Calvin's theology. This research, rather, endeavours to set up a bridge between two types of study on Calvin, namely studies on Calvin's use of Augustine and of Augustine's influence on Calvin's writings. In other words, our main purpose is to suggest a basic tool (or information) for further studies. Three related questions are asked: I. What comprises Augustine's uniqueness in Calvin's writings? 2. Who is Calvin's Augustine? 3. What is the relevance of this study to current research on Calvin? In Chapter 2, a brief history of earlier research regarding discussion on Calvin and Augustine from the beginning of the zo" century is presented. Then critical conversations follow. These conversations concerning our theme involve three important scholars, namely L Smits, R J Mooi and J M J Lange van Ravenswaay. Finally, a need for a converging method which has the possibility of overcoming some methodological problems that arise in studies on Calvin and Augustine is expressed. In the third chapter, the use that Calvin makes of Augustine in his own works from the first period of his writing career to the last, fifth, period is thoroughly studied (1532- 1565). Chapter 4 deals with data analyses. In between the analysis of static data and the analysis of dynamic data, Smits's study of Augustinian citations in Calvin's writings is dealt with critically to provide a basic understanding of Augustinian citations. Finally, the answers to the three related questions that are suggested in the introduction are pursued: What comprises Augustine's uniqueness in Calvin's writings? Who is Calvin's Augustine? And what is the relevance of this study to current research on Calvin. The answers will function as a bridge between the two related studies of Calvin's use of Augustine and Augustine's influence on Calvin.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie navorsing is nie om die teologie van Augustinus en die van Calvyn te vergelyk nie en ook nie om 'n teorie daar te stel wat die invloed wat Augustinus op Calvyn se teologie uitgeoefen het, sal ontbloot nie. Die navorsing poog eerder om 'n brug op te rig tussen twee soorte studies oor Calvyn, naamlik studies oor Calvyn se gebruik van Augustinus en oor Augustinus se invloed op die skryfwerk van Calvyn. Ons hoof doel is met ander woorde om 'n basiese werktuig (of inligting) vir verdere studie voor te stel. Drie fundamentele vrae word gevra: I. Waarin Ie die uniekheid van Augustinus in Calvin se geskrifte? 2. Wie is Calvyn se Augustinus? 3. Op hoe 'n manier is hierdie studie relevant ten opsigte van huidige navorsing oor Calvyn? In Hoofstuk 2 word 'n kort geskiedenis van vroeer navorsmg aangaande bespreking oor Calvyn en Augustinus, vanaf die begin van die 20ste eeu, aangebied. Dan volg kritiese gesprekke. Hierdie gesprekke ten opsigte van ons tema betrek drie belangrike geleerdes, naamlik L Smits, R J Mooi en J M J Lange van Ravenswaay. Aan die einde word 'n behoefte uitgespreek vir 'n samevloeiende metode wat moontlik sommige metodologiese probleme wat in die bestudering van Calvyn en Augustinus na yore kom, sal oorbrug. In die derde hoofstuk word Calvyn se gebruikmaking van Augustinus in sy eie werk vanaf die eerste tydperk van sy skryfloopbaan tot die laaste, vyfde, deeglik bestudeer (1532-1565). Hoofstuk 4 behandel data-analise. Tussen die analise van statiese data en die analise van dinamiese data word Smits se studie van Augustiniaanse aanhalings in Calvyn se geskrifte krities behandel om 'n basiese begrip van Augustiniaanse aanhalings te verskaf. Uiteindelik word die antwoorde op die drie verwante vrae wat in die inleiding voorgestel word, nagespeur: I. Waarin Ie die uniekheid van Augustinus in Calvin se geskrifte? 2. Wie is Calvyn se Augustinus? 3. Op hoe 'n manier is hierdie studie relevant ten opsigte van huidige navorsing oor Calvyn? Die antwoorde sal as 'n brug tussen die twee verwante studies oor Calvyn se gebruikmaking van Augustinus en Augustinus se invloed op Calvyn dien.

Lee, Kam-Lun Edwin. "Augustine, Manichaeism and the Good." Thesis, University of Ottawa (Canada), 1996. http://hdl.handle.net/10393/9773.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis will investigate, by means of the historical-critical method, Augustine of Hippo's understanding of the Manichaean idea of the Good, and how this understanding affects his own related notions of summum bonum and personal evil, and, as a corollary, his doctrine of predestination. The question of a possible Manichaean influence is particularly pertinent because Manichaeism is at heart a dualistic solution to the issue of good and evil. The focus is not on Manichaeism per se but on Augustine's perception of it, as more directly affecting his thinking. Augustine's treatise De natura boni (399) in part summarizes his treatment of "the nature of the Good" in earlier polemics. From his first writing, De pulchro et apto (380), to that point, Augustine understands the Manichaean concept as equating the Good with the Beautiful, the latter taken to mean that which engenders tranquil pleasure. Conversely, evil is thought of as a disturbance of this state, whether spiritually or physically. Wickedness and mortality are deemed to be both spiritually and physically evil in Manichaean terms because they disturb a person's tranquil existence. In his non-metaphysical theory he designs to explain intrinsic personal evil developed in De uera religione (390), Augustine redefines these two notions as "sin" and "penalty," hence imposing on them a casual relation that makes the conception of a vicious circle mechanism possible. Augustine's development of the idea of predestination reveals the Manichaean concept of the Good at work in three ways: on the framework of that development, in the implication of determinism, and on the context of the doctrine. Despite the presence of evil, he believes that the whole cosmos is in harmonious beauty so long as evil is assigned to its proper place. God is to preserve this order in both the physical and the spiritual (moral) creations, an order portrayable with a two-tiered frame. Initially (around 388), Augustine thought that an individual person, as a spiritual creature, should have self-determination by the exercise of the will. But gradually, due to his conviction that personal evil is inevitable, Augustine assigned determination of one's destiny to the jurisdiction of God. Determinism, however, is not the only characteristic feature of Augustine's version of predestination. The cosmological and eschatological contexts of his doctrine demand the notion of summum bonum to warrant the beauty of the cosmic order as well as to assure the elect's eternal tranquil beatitude.

Full text
Abstract:
This essay traces the reception of Augustine in the 20th and 21st century phenomenological tradition. It gives special attention to recent monographs on Augustine by Jean-Luc Marion and Jean-Louis Chrétien, but contextualises these both fore (by examining the earlier work of Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger, as well as earlier and less determinative Augustinian engagements by Marion and Chrétien) and aft (by critically considering the philosophical, philological and theological implications of phenomenology for the study of Augustine). The cross-fertilization of its study of Augustine himself and its study of the various phenomenological appropriations of Augustine sheds new light on the Augustinian questions of Platonism, ontology, and the role of Scripture in philosophy.

Abstract:
This study explores the doctrine of wisdom (sapientia) in St. Augustine. The primary focus is to understand what wisdom is and what it does in Augustine's thought, and how it developed throughout Augustine's writings. Additionally, this study considers how Augustine's notion of wisdom compares to the wisdom literature of Scripture in light of contemporary wisdom scholarship, and how Augustine's sapientiology might be retrieved and renewed for today. While many have acknowledged the importance of sapientia in Augustine, little sustained attention has been given either toward defining precisely what sapientia is or how it functions in his thought. To address these issues, this study highlights the lacuna in research on the topic, then summarizes the wisdom-traditions that preceded Augustine. Chapters two and three consider sapientia's development from Augustine's early works through his mature works identifying sapientia's essential ingredients, and the cluster of biblical passages Augustine employs to support his notion of wisdom. These two chapters identify the time between Ad Simplicianum and Confessiones (c. 396-40 I) with the emergence of I Cor. 12:8 and Job 28:28 as the period when sapientia stabilizes in Augustine's thought, and demonstrates the basic continuity between the sapientia of 393- 395 and that of 396-430. Chapter four focuses on sapientia in De Trinitate, the work where Augustine offers his most systematic treatment on the topic. In this chapter it is argued that sapientia in Augustine is the Triune God fully expressed in the incarnate Christ who, by way of the Spirit, gives light and faith to God's people, and who provides the way through which believers may see clearly, live virtuously, and participate most fully in God, ascending upward in contemplation toward the vision of Him, and thereby restoring His people to the imago dei. Chapter five opens a dialogue with contemporary wisdom scholars for an assessment of Augustine's sapientia especially in relation to the doctrine of creation. It is argued that though Augustine's notion of wisdom is governed by a restrained doctrine of creation and an underdeveloped view of the wisdom literature, his biblically rooted, Christocentric, faith-first approach provides a promising way forward for the retrieval and renewal of Augustinian wisdom in contemporary theology. The concluding chapter recapitulates the findings and conclusions of chapters one through five and ends with suggestions for further research .

The dissertation studies the average treatment effect of the Program "University for Allâ in the academic performance of students in the Santo Augustinho College (FSA), on the period of 2009. Based on information from primary data and a questionnaire on a sample of 301 students studying with the ProUni Scholarships and students who do not have this benefit, we used a linear regression model and a regression based on the propensity score. The results of this study suggest that students that receive ProUni scholarship outperform those who do not receive those benefits, regardless of instrumental analysis, and consequently direct the recommendations are that the College promotes policies to encourage and attract students from this category. Therefore, we can still suggest that the future studies should be make to analyze the work performance of these students to join the labor market.

Full text
Abstract:
The subject of this manuscript is the Texas Rangers “clean-up” of San Augustine, which was undertaken between late January 1935 until approximately July 1936 at the direction of then newly-elected Governor James V. Allred, in response to the local “troubles” that arose from an near decade long “crime wave.” Allred had been elected on a platform advocating dramatic reform of state law enforcement, and the success of the “clean-up” was heralded as validation of those reforms, which included the creation of – and the Rangers’ integration into – the Texas Department of Public Safety that same year. Despite such historic significance for the community of San Augustine, the state, and the Texas Rangers, no detailed account has ever been published. The few existing published accounts are terse, vague, and inadequate to address the relevant issues. They are often also overly reliant on limited oral accounts and substantially factually flawed, thereby rendering their interpretive analysis moot in regard to certain issues. Additionally, it is a period of San Augustine’s history that haunts that community to this day, particularly as a result of the wide-ranging myths that have taken hold in the absence of a thoroughly researched and documented published account. Concerns over offending the descendants of the key antagonists, many of whom still live in the area, has long made local historians wary of taking on the topic. Nevertheless, many of them have privately expressed the need for just such a treatment, as they have crossed paths with enough evidence in pursuit of other topics that they recognize and appreciate the historical significance, and lack of an accurate modern understanding, of those events. Furthermore, descendants of some of the victims have expressed frustration over the lack of such an account, because it makes them feel victimized once more to see the mistreatment and suffering of their relatives, which shaped many lives within their families for generations, continue to be ignored in the local historical record. Those events did not occur in a vacuum, and their effects linger still.

Esta dissertação tem como objetivo identificar e analisar a presença de Agostinho de Hipona na obra de Hannah Arendt, centrando no papel ocupado pelo conceito agostiniano de natalidade na mudança efetuada pela autora durante sua trajetória: de uma primeira fase dedicada à reflexão filosófica de viés existencialista, para uma segunda fase na qual Arendt desenvolveu seu pensamento político e historiográfico. Para alcançar este objetivo é analisado não apenas o conceito de natalidade, mas também os conceitos de nascimento, início/começo, liberdade e memória – que possuem ligações com o conceito de natalidade. É de importância central para este trabalho a dissertação de Hannah Arendt, O Conceito de Amor em Santo Agostinho. Procuro demonstrar como o conceito de nascimento, presente nesta primeira obra da autora, deu origem ao conceito de natalidade que é inserido na versão revisada da dissertação na década de 60, e aparece em suas principais obras, dentre as quais são analisadas aqui: Origens do Totalitarismo, A Condição Humana, Entre o Passado e o Futuro, e Da Revolução.
This dissertation intends to identify and analyse the presence of Augustine of Hippo in the works of Hannah Arendt, focusing on the part ennacted by the augustinian concept of natality in the change undergone by the author in her trajectory: from a first fase dedicated to existencialist filosophycal reflection to a second fase when Hannah Arendt developed her political and historyographic thinking. To achive this goal I will not only analyse the concepct of natality, but also the concepts of birth, beggining, freedom and memory – which hold connections with the concept of natality. It s of central importance for this work Hannah Arendt s dissertation, The Concept of Love in Augustine. I mean to demonstrate how the concept of birth, present in this first work of the author, has given origin to the concept of natality that is inserted in the revised version of the dissertation in the 60 s, and that appears at her most important works, of wich will be analysed here: Origins of Totalitarianism, Human Condition, Between Past and Future, and On Revolution.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis provides an interpretative study of Augustine of Hippo’s City of God, book 14. The introduction explains how the thesis demonstrates that Augustine only partially endorses a model of emotional control through reason, and asserts that the key to his emotions doctrine is not to be found in an affections-passions dichotomy. It also addresses Augustine’s engagement with Platonism in the text, and, using work by Volker Drecoll, explains how the commentary-style project is able to situate City 14 within the Pelagian controversy ca. A.D. 419. The following seven chapters proceed uninterruptedly through City 14, clarifying Augustine’s argumentative aims and making use of secondary scholarship and philological tools to investigate points of fine detail. Chapter 1 explores City 14.1, his recapitulation of City 11-13 and his setting out of the initial two-cities dichotomy. Chapter 2 explores City 14.2-5, in which Augustine critiques Manichean or Platonist positions that the body is bad or evil. Chapter 3 explores City 14.6-9, and Augustine’s explication of the Biblical doctrine of emotions. Chapter 4 explores City 14.10-15, and the theme of the primal Fall and the will being ‘spontaneous’. Chapter 5 explores City 14.16-20, and Augustine’s exploration of the disobedience of the genitals in all forms of sex, including married life. Chapter 6 explores City 14.21-25, in which Augustine discusses the workings of Adam and Eve’s hypothetical sexual experience in the Pre-Fall Paradise. Chapter 7 explores City 14.26-28, in which Augustine recapitulates City 14.10-25, and comments on the workings of Providence, before hurtling towards the final dichotomy about the two cities being separated by their ‘loves’. A conclusion reviews the main points of the thesis. The thesis makes extensive use of German and French scholarship, of the CCL 48 Latin text, and the tools of the CAG 3 Augustine database; it occasionally contests the chapter divisions found in modern editions.

Abstract:
This thesis aims instead to look at what a major figure like Augustine, writing about interesting ideas, does with language and meaning in theory and practice. A study of Augustine can show us something interesting about how reader/text interaction works and, more specifically, how a rather influential reader interacts with a text that he believes to be of supreme importance. The questions of the philosophy of language and the language of philosophy tend to be considered in the abstract: I consider them in terms of a particular philosopher. Aqugustine wrote philosophy in a language that is meaningful to us. This thesis examines how and why he manages to do so. Chapter I examines what Augustine said about meaning and exegesis as theoretical concepts. Augustine is, throughout his writings on meaning, concerned with how the meaning of a text relates to belief in a text. This chapter focusses primarily on an early work, De Utilitate Credendi because it directly tackles this question. Chapter 11 addresses the fact that, for Augustine, meaning is far from being purely about language: the meaning of events is just as important and is closely connected to the meaning of words, passages and texts. Chapter III looks at whether what Augustine says regarding the theory of meaning and interpretation is something that he puts into practice when he interprets biblical passages; it focusses on Augustine's Genesis commentaries. The principal conclusion reached is that, when it comes to the study of meaning, purely theoretical work benefits from analysis of complex practice.
