The Magnitude of the Soul

The Magnitude of the Soul

Ludwig Schopp
0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Augustine of Hippo , or also just Saint Augustine, was a bishop in the Roman city of Hippo Regius, which is currently Annaba, Algeria. In addition to his pastoral work he was a prolific writer. His writings have been credited as the single most significant source of Christian thought in the Western church.

Augustine wrote this work in Rome, sometime during 387 or 388. In his retractions he states: In the same city I wrote a dialogue in which there is a lengthy treatment and discussion of the soul. He adds that the treatise has been so entitled, since the
question of the soul’s magnitude was there submitted to a careful and searching examination for the purpose of showing, if possible, that the soul lacks corporeal quantity, but is nevertheless a great reality.

The dialogue in which St. Augustine and his friend Evodius participate is divided into six unequal parts, according to the
questions that Evodius proposes for discussion : the origin of the soul; the nature of the soul; the magnitude
of the soul; the reason for its union with the body; the nature of this union; the nature of the soul separated
from the body.
