| Summary: | "This book offers a comprehensive analysis of love in the work of Augustine of Hippo in four sections. In the first place, the centrality of love in the work of Agustín de Hipona is presented through a succinct approach to the great areas of his thought in a loving key. Second, exploiting all the conceptual richness of Augustinian thought, each of the terms used by the Doctor of Hippo to refer to love are analyzed: order (ordo), weight (pondus), charity (caritas), lust (cupiditas) , eros and agape. Third, the four great loves are exposed: love of the world, love of oneself, love of neighbor and love of God. Finally, the central thesis of all the research is proposed: perfect love is a single reality that integrates the four loves (God, oneself, neighbor and the world). In this way, it is suggested that the various terms used by Augustine to describe love are not opposite but complementary, since they reflect or highlight different aspects of the same reality. The book can be used in undergraduate and graduate courses in Christian Philosophy, Medieval Philosophy, Patristics. It can also be useful for anyone interested in Augustinian philosophy with some prior training"-- |
