    The Journey from Platonism to Christianity

    by Brian Dobell ...
    This book examines Augustine's intellectual conversion from Platonism to Christianity, as described at Confessions 7.9.13–21.27.

Brian Dobell argues, however, that Augustine's intellectual conversion did not occur until the mid-390s, and develops this claim by ... Read more

    by Christopher Rowe ...
    Series series Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy
    Plato's Theaetetus and Sophist are two of his most important dialogues, and are widely read and discussed by philosophers for what they reveal about his epistemology and particularly his accounts of belief and knowledge.
