Document Summary

Has great rhetorical skill and is good at dealing with conflict which is the reason he was forced into being a bishop (he did not necessarily want to do this). When he goes to hippo his life becomes fragmented and full of conflict because being a bishop is like acting as a mayor, it is very political. He really wanted to live with friends to feel a sense of community, bonding, and spirituality: lived during the falling roman empire. His reflections of this is seen in the reflections of god which talk about how terrestrial life is an imperfect reflection of god. This links to plato when he became disillusioned by politics and it is seen in his writing the republic. Confess ones self before god and the reader to reveal the human condition: an act of praise- language is ultimately fulfilled in praise of god. God is bliss and absolute fulfillment of human desire.
