- W2531640078 abstract "In this dissertation, I argue that the Cityof God provides a helpful framework for concerned citizens tounderstand the dynamics that destroy political community. I exploreAugustine’s claim that Rome’s self-understanding (Romanitas) hasbeen shaped into a self-justifying, self-aggrandizing narrative byself-interested citizens. Augustine shows how and why this is thecase through his polemic against idolatry, which he describes asthe source of injustice. Thus, I carefullyexplore Augustine’s psychology of idolatry and its three modes:idolatry of the self, which he calls pride, idolatry of earthlygoods, which he calls lust, and idolatry of powers, or idolatry perse. Together, he shows, these constitute the dynamic of the earthlycity that undermines genuine political community. Finally, because I read Augustine’s City of God as arecasting of Romanitas, re-contextualizing political life so that anew kind of citizenship can arise, I examine this new citizenship,characterizing it as prudent humanitas — a restorative force inpolitics — one that reconstitutes and heals the politicalcommunity. I read this prudent humanitas as a development and afulfillment of themes of Classical, particularly Ciceronianpolitical thought, but one that overcomes the tensions that theclassical tradition could, at best, identify: the tension betweenvirtue and happiness, between the public good and the private good,and between love of glory and love of truth. In short, in the Cityof God, I find a timeless critique of political corruption thatserves as the foundation for a prudent yet deeply humanecitizenship." @default.
