The eleventh book of Augustine's Confessions is the most discussed text of late antique philosophy. Kurt Flasch examines the systematic position of the eleventh book within Augustine's philosophy, analyzes Augustine's theory in the context of late antique thought, and explores the reasons that led to a renewed interest in Augustine's theory of time in the 20th century. The book also includes the Latin text of Confessions XI, a German translation, and a detailed historical-philosophical commentary. "No one can ignore this book if they wish to engage seriously with Augustine and the philosophy of time in general." Philosophical Review.
