Augustine Paper
At the heart of St. Augustine’s Confessions is a question, begging to be answered. Did Augustine’s pursuit of pleasure end at his conversion?
Defining pleasure traditionally as the morally neutral experience of joy or happiness, satisfaction, and gratification, discuss Augustine’s life before and after his conversion.
Did Augustine cease to be a hedonist altogether, or did he simply convert from worldly hedonism to Christian hedonism?
Demonstrating a clear understanding of Confessions and hedonism, argue your conclusion using ONLY Augustine’s primary source.
