• W2558564371 abstract "Saint Augustine of Hippo was one of the most influential Latin Doctors of the Early Middle Ages. He contributed to the development of Christian dogma and philosophy starting with his seminal autobiographical exposition in the Confessions and his extensive work on Christendom’s viewpoint of human history in The City of God. Not only a theologian, Saint Augustine was also considered to be one of the most radical thinkers of his time. His philosophy was groundbreaking in that he interpreted the Scripture in order to expound on important Christian concepts such as “original sin,” “confession and conversion,” and “love and the ethic of humility,” to mention a few, in relation to human existence and history. His works and the ideas that he presented are well-preserved in the Christian tradition of the present. In addition to Saint Augustine’s Christian philosophy, it is interesting to look at how the Latin Doctor contributed to an explanation of human history. For example, in the first ten books of The City of God, he criticizes paganism and absolves Christianity in the destruction of Rome. But one interesting thing regarding Saint Augustine’s ideas on history that could be found in Books 11 to 22 is that he expounds on the notion of a sacred history which entails the existence of a City of God and an Earthly City. In these books, he explains the role of God as the omnipotent being that controls the fate of mankind towards salvation in the end of time. The historiography of Saint Augustine is an interesting aspect to explore because it allows readers to have an understanding about how human history was viewed by one of the Middle Age’s most eminent Christian scholars. However, this paper will not only be concerned with an overview of the Latin Doctor’s views on history. It will also expound on how it is, at some points, in congruence with another historical view produced by one of the most influential sociopolitical and economic theories of the 19 th and the 20 th centuries; namely, Marxism. Hence, this paper shall present how Saint Augustine’s historiography, classified as Providential History, has striking similarities with the Marxist view on history in terms of its linear development and how human agency takes part in the fruition of history. This paper will be divided into three main parts, the first of which shall define Providential History and how Saint Augustine’s views on history fall under it. It will also discuss the portrayal of human agency in Providential History. In turn, the second part shall focus on the Marxist view on history – one that takes an emancipatory and materialist stand. In addition, it will elaborate on human agency’s role in Marxist historiography. The final part will be entirely devoted to a brief juxtaposition of Saint Augustine’s and Marx’s ideas raised in the preceding sections. It shall present how both philosophers have striking congruence and convergences in their views on history. This paper would only be limited to analyses of two of Saint Augustine’s seminal works, the Confessions and The City of God. More so, secondary sources concerning the Latin Doctor’s" @default.
