Crimen Obicere. Forensic Rhetoric and Augustine's anti-Donatist Correspondence2020 •
In my dissertation, I examine Augustine's argumentation in the course of the Pelagian controversy, surveying the ways in which he sought to defend the antiquity and universality of his own doctrinal views especially through the citation of earlier Christian authors, references to liturgical/sacramental sources, as well as contemporary authorities.
This dissertation will be a study of the influence of the Christian tradition of caritas in the philosophy and the subsequent hermeneutic of Saint Augustine of Hippo and will seek to establish the value of Augustine’s hermeneutic of caritas within contemporary philosophical scholarship. The shift in the Western philosophical tradition during the Enlightenment period resulted in a solid break from authority-based hermeneutics of theology to the autonomy of the mind of modern philosophy. The result was a greater emphasis on the literal meaning of a text through method over the spiritual meaning, or application of the greater meaning, in Christian living. This study will explore whether contemporary philosophical hermeneutics can cohere with Augustine’s embrace of caritas in his epistemology and subsequent hermeneutic. The unique aspect of Augustine’s hermeneutic is that caritas is a product of understanding while at the same time is the method, or means, by which caritas is produced. Therefore, Christian epistemology, as echoed in Augustine’s hermeneutic of caritas, is a uniquely valuable contribution to the academic discipline of philosophy. This dissertation will propose that the benefits of Augustine’s caritas as the a priori spirit of the biblical text, and the proper application of that spirit in scholarship, should be the epistemological focus of hermeneutics rather than the emphasis on method prevalent from Spinoza to Dilthey. Augustine’s caritas may prove beneficial as a renewed harmony for theological and philosophical hermeneutics.
