"In this work [...] I would like to defend the glorious City of God [...] The work is long and difficult, 'but God is our Helper." With these words Augustine (354-430) begins his celebrated book City of God, in which he examines an entire spectrum of philosophical issues: ethics, philosophy of religion, metaphysics, political philosophy and the philosophy of history. In this tutorial we shall read the City of God from beginning to end and discuss the philosophical concerns it raises, including the problems concerning free will and determination, theodicy and evil, and the foundations of justice. The text will also be discussed historically in order better to understand both Augustine's debts to his philosophical predecessors such as Plato and later thinkers' (e.g., Descartes') debts to Augustine. All reading will be in English, and no knowledge of Latin is required. Format: tutorial. Students will work in pairs. Requirements: Each participant will write and present one 5- to 7-page paper every other week and compose and present comments on the partner's paper in alternate weeks. Grades will be based on the quality of both the written work and the oral presentations and critiques. Prerequisites: any one of the following: Philosophy 101, Philosophy 102, Religion 101 or permission of the instructor. Enrollment limit: 10 (expected: 6-10).
