内容简介:
加里•威尔斯（Garry Wills）撰写的《圣奥古斯丁》，作为企鹅人生人物传记书系的一种，与丛书的其他品种一样，都是著名作家撰写的名人传记。
传主圣奥古斯丁（354—430）是欧洲中世纪哲学家、神学家、罗马基督教拉丁教父的主要代表、新柏拉图主义者、基督教教父哲学的完成者。奥古斯丁运用新柏拉图主义的哲学论证基督教教义，把哲学和神学结合在一起，从理论上为基督教确立了宗教世界观和人生观，把教父哲学推向了全盛时期。而他的伦理思想后来被托马斯•阿奎那继承，并进一步发展成为庞大的神学伦理思想体系，成为基督教道德的理论基石。
这部小传从奥古斯丁在非洲度过的童年时期讲起，讲述了青年期的奥古斯丁历经寻觅、犹疑、苦闷，才由异教转而归信公教会，并最终成为神学家的曲折历程。奥古斯丁曾经以放纵无度的形象被广泛误解，作者在书中挑战了这些传说。最重要的是，加里•威尔斯以历史学家的严谨向读者展示，奥古斯丁如何在吸收接受古典哲学的同时，也成功地借助“异教作家们”的思想来为基督教信仰辩护。威尔斯笔下的奥古斯丁，能够与今天的我们心灵相通，但在他生活的时代却被视为边缘人物，被视为一个“游离在古典文化圈外的外省人”。

原文摘录:
Yet the expectation of sexual excess in Augustine’s life leads people to add sexual scenes and themes to his story – incestuous feelings for his mother or homosexual feelings for his friend. The obsessive treatment of Augustine’s supposed sexual obsession is apparent in two well-known and repeatedly cited articles by modern psychiatrists. They discuss the scene where Augustine’s father sees him nude in the public baths and rejoices that he will become a grandfather, since Augustine had reached sexual maturity. “My childhood past,” Augustine says, “[I was] clothed in unstable manhood [inquieta adulescentia]” (T 2.6). Dr. Charles Klingerman takes that adjective inquieta to mean Augustine had an erection in the baths. Drs. R. Brändle and W. Neidhart go further, supposing that Augustine’s fat… (查看原文)

People notice that there is a parallel between this “first sin” of The Testimony and Adam’s fall in the garden of Eden. Though the gang hauls off a “huge load” (onera ingentia) of pears from the orchard, Augustine talks of only one tree – like the tree of the apple in Eden. He goes out of his way to say the pears were not beautiful, marking a contrast with the fruit in Eden, where the tree “was pleasant to the eyes” (Genesis 3.6). But a further parallel, the key one, has not been noticed, I think. Eve falls for the serpent’s lies in Genesis; but Saint Paul’s First Letter to Timothy (which Augustine thought was authentically Pauline) says that “Adam was not deceived” (2.14). Why did Adam commit the original sin if he was neither desirous of the fruit in itself nor deceived about any power i… (查看原文)
