In this episode we discuss Martin Westerholm’s recent article, 'On the Structure and Significance of Augustine’s Moral Grammar' (Published in Journal of Religious Ethics, Vol 49:Issue 4, December 2021) . According to Westerholm, there are three constellations of concepts that one must understand in order to grasp Augustine’s moral framework and the way that framework differs from both classical and modern moral visions. Along the way the article displays how certain influential appropriations of Augustine have occluded important elements of his distinct moral grammar.
Westerholm's article 'The nature and Destiny of Niebuhr's Augustine' is also referenced in passing in this episode. Full text is available online.
