| Summary: | Augustine was known for his availability to write in response to requests for help from friends, acquaintances and even strangers. In 410 he received a letter (ep. 117) from Carthage, from Dioscorus, a young man of Greek origin, who sent him numerous questions about Cicero's dialogues. His quest was motivated by the fear of appearing ignorant to those who would ask him questions on these subjects on his return to his homeland. Augustine took advantage of the occasion to turn him away from the ambitions of vainglory and showed him, by exposing to him his knowledge of the ancient philosophical schools, that it is of no use to know the opinions of the philosophers very well if one does not seek the truth itself with humility. This work presents and analyses Augustine's exposition of the theories and contradictions of these ancient philosophies. |
