Notes

  1. Conf. IV.4.9.

  2. See O’Donnell (2005, pp. 171–208).

  3. I do not mean to suggest by this that Marion sees Augustine as a mystical thinker, much less approaches him as such. He follows Gilson in seeing Augustine as thinking transphilosophically and transtheologically, p. 27.

  4. cf. Conf. XI–XIII.

  5. Conf. III.6.11.

  6. Conf. X.27.38.

  7. Solil. I.1.1.

  8. Another example of straining the text is the interpretation of nescio here, which is linked to Augustine’s not knowing where the child’s voice comes from in Conf. VIII.12.29, p. 48 n.2.

  9. See Marrou (1958, p. 134) and Lane Fox (2006, pp. 173–89).

  10. Solil. I.2.7.

  11. Solil. II.1.1.
