St. Augustine and Marcus Aurelius
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page paper comparing the two philosophers and their views on the nature of the universe as well as how we should react to others. Both believed that there was only good in the world. St. Augustine's view was that evil was either the absence or perversion of the good that exists. Marcus Aurelius maintained that the universe is a rational one and that any event serves to maintain the universe as being rational. If anyone believed himself to have been wronged, the belief was a flaw with the one taking offense rather than with the one committing the action. No sources listed.

St. Augustine’s Confessions: On Time and Truth
[ send me this paper ]
The first eight books of Augustine’s Confessions relates his life before he finds the truth in God. After accepting God as the foundation for knowledge he begins to seek answers to the questions that seem eternal in themselves: what is time and what is truth? This 5 page paper interprets Augustine’s Confessions as meaning that the mind is the harbinger of time and the conceptualization of time, therefore time and truth may very well both be subjective and eternal in nature. Man’s salvation is predisposed according to the use of time and the interpretation of truth. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
