    "The Confessions of Saint Augustine" is an autobiographical work by St. Augustine of Hippo, consisting of 13 books written between AD 397 and 400. This seminal work outlines his sinful youth and his conversion to Christianity. It is widely seen as the first Western autobiography ever written, and it provides deep philosophical and theological insights into faith and morality. Augustine explores the nature of time, memory, and the inner self, and the narrative is as much a chronicle of his spiritual journey as it is a theological treatise.

    Living Together - Inventing...

    Is moral philosophy more foundational than political theory? It is often assumed to be. David Schmidtz argues that the reverse is true: the question of how to live in a community is more fundamental than questions about how to live. This book questions whether we are getting to the foundations of human morality when we ignore contingent features of communities in which political animals live. 
     
     
     
    Schmidtz contends that theorizing about how to live together should take its cue from contemporary moral philosophy's attempts to go beyond formal theory, and ask which principles have a history of demonstrably being organizing principles of actual thriving communities at their best. Ideals emerging from such research should be a distillation of social scientific insight from observable histories of successful community building. What emerges from ongoing testing in the crucible of life experience will be path-dependent in detail even if not in general outline, partly because any way of life is a response to challenges that are themselves contingent, path dependent, and in flux. 
     
     
     
    Building on this view, Schmidtz argues that justice evolved as a device for grounding peace in the mutual recognition that everyone has their own life to live, and everyone has the right and the responsibility to decide for themselves what to want.

    Back in the USSR - Heroic...

    Transnistria is a nowhereland hugging a narrow valley near the Black Sea. No bigger than Cornwall or Rhode Island, the unrecognised country is a Soviet museum long occupied by Russian ‘peace-keepers’. Its oligarchs in Adidas track suits hunt wild boar with AK-47s. Its young people train for revolution at the Che Guevara High School of Political Leadership. Its secret factories have supplied arms to African insurgents and electrical generators for Iran’s nuclear power programme. Yet its isolation and sliver-size belie the real threat it poses to the West, above all since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. 	‘We know our people and how to treat them, ' bragged a local-boy-made-good oligarch. ‘And I tell you that the only way to get them to act or to change their ways is to point a gun at their heads, and threaten to shoot.’	‘And if they still don’t change?’ I asked, shocked by his arrogant candour.	‘Then one pulls the trigger.’	Re-issued with a new Introduction, Back in the USSR is a snapshot in time - presented in a social realist style - and a chilling reminder of the fate that awaits the conquered.
