Viac o knihe

Exploring the complexities of knowledge and self-awareness, this collection of essays delves into themes of parting and reunion, drawing heavily on the Genesis narrative and Augustine's interpretations. Half of the essays engage with Augustine's views on original sin, self-division, and the quest for grace, while the others focus on concepts like forgiveness, morality, and the beauty found in imperfection. Together, they reflect on the challenges of self-knowledge, suggesting that disfigurement can lead to transformation and deeper understanding.
