Jodra Professor Guillermo M. - On Regular Life Freedom Modernity And Augustinian Communitarianism - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: This second of a two - volume work provides a new understanding of Western subjectivity as theorized in the Augustinian Rule. A theopolitical synthesis of Antiquity the Rule is a humble yet extremely influential example of subjectivity production. In these volumes Jodra argues that the Classical and Late - Ancient communitarian practices along the Mediterranean provide historical proof of a worldview in which the self and the other are not disjunctive components but mutually inclusive forces. The Augustinian Rule is a culmination of this process and also the beginning of something new: the paradigm of the monastic self as protagonist of the new medieval worldview. In the previous volume Jodra gave us the Mediterranean backstory to Augustine's Rule. In this volume two he develops his solution to socialism through a kind of Augustinian communitarianism for today in full. These volumes therefore restore the unity of the Hellenistic and Judaic world as found by the first Christians proving that the self and the other are two essential pieces in the construction of our world.
