Augustinian thoughts and their influence

Augustinian thoughts have been widely revered for their great influence on the development of Western philosophy. While most of St. Augustine's ideas were adopted in various fields of modern thought, his ideas on education have been rarely discussed.

St. Augustine's role as a teacher
