Recenzii
“Two
valuable
insights
lie
at
the
heart
of
Once
Out
of
Nature.
The
first
is
that
Augustine
is
always
concerned
with
the
body
and
embodiment.
The
second
is
that
Augustine’s
valuing
of,
and
serious
thought
about,
the
body
leads
to
his
dual
notion
of
time
as
experienced
in
the
body,
earthly
time
and
psychic
time.
Nightingale’s
lucid
exposition
is
an
important
contribution
to
the
study
of
Augustine’s
thought.
This
is
a
clear,
compelling,
and
at
times
quite
moving
book.”
—Catherine
Conybeare,
Bryn
Mawr
College
“This
is
a
beautifully
written,
engaging,
and
original
book
that
demonstrates
Augustine’s
complex
views
on
the
human
body
while
emphasizing
the
importance
of
temporality
on
his
account
of
the
body’s
origin,
vicissitudes,
and
future.
Andrea
Nightingale
discusses
several
aspects
of
the
relationship
between
body,
soul,
and
time
in
Augustine
as
she
moves
freely
and
illuminatingly
through
his
major
works.
Once
Out
of
Nature
is
simply
a
pleasure.”
“Nightingale
offers
a
stimulating
introduction
to
profound
existential
issues
in
Augustine’s
philosophy.
.
.
.
Highly
recommended.”
