Who this is
“Augustine turned philosophy inward — he discovered the inner life as a subject, and every memoir, every confession, every honest account of wanting two things at once descends from him.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“The deepest philosophical territory is not the cosmos but the inside of a single human self — its divided will, its strange memory, its experience of time, and its restless desire, which no created thing can satisfy.”
