Augustine and Existentialism

Augustine and Existentialism

  • Technical
  • Gordon R. Lewis

Existentialism's view of the individual is sometimes claimed to be similar to the views of Augustine. In this essay Lewis evaluates such claims by comparing the thought of Augustine with that of contemporary existentialists. Lewis introduces Paul Tillich's distinctions between an existential point of view, an existential philosophy, and an existential attitude (involvement). He then proceeds to compare each of these aspects of existentialism with the thought of Augustine.
