Augustinus: De civitate Dei: Fachwissenschaftliche und fachdidaktische Zugänge
Acta Didactica, Volume 2
The work De civitate Dei by the philosopher of religion and church father Augustine of Hippo, written 413-426, links political theory, theory of society, individual ethics and theology of history in a multilayered way. Ancient philosophy is rethought from a Christian perspective. The five contributors to this collection take up the challenge to provide access to this sophisticated work and to show ways how school students especially as well as university students can be introduced to Augustine's political theory and philosophy of religion.
