O'Donovan, Oliver

Common Objects of Love Moral reflection and the shaping of community Oliver O'Donovan - U.S.A William B. Eerdmans 2002 - 72tr. Paperback 24cm

The book's central theme, which arises out of Augustine's idea that we know only as we love, is that moral reflection, or the identification of objects of love, has effect in organized community. This perspective provides a fruitful resolution to the traditional Aristotelian dichotomy of theoretical and practical reason and directs us as to how we may think ""from truths of Christian faith to conclusions in Christian action.
