The Confession of Augustine, Paperback

This remarkable posthumous work by one of the leading philosophers of the 20th century engages Augustine's Confessions, one of the major canonical works of world literature and the very paradigm of autobiography as a definable genre of writing. Lyotard approaches his subject by returning to his earliest phenomenological training.
