Document Details : Title: The Theme of Ontological Dependence in Confessions Book 7 Chapters 14-20 Author(s): PALETTA, John Journal: Augustiniana Volume: 61 Issue: 3-4 Date: 2011 Pages: 207-223 DOI: 10.2143/AUG.61.3.3294595 Abstract : In a recent article ('Saint Augustine's Milan Vision Reconstructed', Augustiniana 58 [2008], 151-180) I argued that in Confessiones 7.10.16 Augustine uses the argument from dependence (which demonstrates that all beings are dependent upon Being Itself), in order to overcome his previous materialistic understanding of God. In this article I argue that a close analysis of Confessiones 7.11.17-7.20.26 confirms this interpretation. |
