Confessions, Volume I

Augustinus (354–430 CE), son of a pagan, Patricius of Tagaste in North Africa, and his Christian wife Monica, while studying in Africa to become a rhetorician, plunged into a turmoil of philosophical and psychological doubts in search of truth, joining for a time the Manichaean society. He became a teacher of grammar at Tagaste, and lived much under the influence of his mother and his friend Alypius. About 383 he went to Rome and soon after to Milan as a teacher of rhetoric, being now attracted by the philosophy of the Sceptics and of the Neo-Platonists. His studies of Paul’s letters with Alypius and the preaching of Bishop Ambrose led in 386 to his rejection of all sensual habits and to his famous conversion from mixed beliefs to Christianity. He returned to Tagaste and there founded a religious community. In 395 or 396 he became Bishop of Hippo, and was henceforth engrossed with duties, writing and controversy. He died at Hippo during the successful siege by the Vandals.

如今还困惑着现代人们的问题，在1600年前先哲就已经深度思考并给出自己的答案。 《忏悔录》是公元394～400年奥古斯丁写的一本以祈祷自传手法所写的自传体回忆录，距今已经1620年，整整跨越了16个世纪，令人称奇的是，在一千多年前，先哲早于对困扰如今绝大多数人的问题和烦恼进...  

【按语：“忏悔（Confession）”的含义是“一种宗教上具权威性的言说：赞美上帝、责备自我、认信信仰”（邓绍光为石敏敏译的奥古斯丁的《论灵魂及其起源》撰写的导言第12页）；本书大约著于公元400年左右，语言极度优美；记述了信仰的历程，包括一个个智识疑惑的克服和意志脆弱...
