On Interrogation, Introspection, Dialectic and the Ineluctable Polarity of Being and Knowing

This work considers the fundamentally oppositional structure of reality, viewing Augustine as a Christian Heraclitus and focusing on his conception of dialectic. Matthew W. Knotts situates Augustine's anthropology within a classical Roman philosophical context, while characterizing his intellect by continuous questioning. In this way, the book grounds a constructive philosophical-theological enquiry in an historical-critical study of the sources and their context.
