SUMMARY:Truth and Authority in Augustine's City of God
DESCRIPTION:APPLY HERE\nThis seminar is an intensive week-long course in how to read\, analyze\, and discern the many themes in Augustine’s most ambitious and sprawling work. The City of God tells the history of two societies\, and their respective origins\, progress\, and appointed ends. The story is engaged first from the evidence of profane history (I-XI) and then from the evidence of revelation (XII-XXII). In this seminar\, participants will discuss how Augustine reckons with the crisis of the ancient and the human city\, and whether it is possible to reconcile truth and authority across the competing domains of polity\, religion\, and philosophical wisdom. These themes will be approached from an interdisciplinary perspective\, addressing questions pertinent to students in political science\, philosophy\, law\, theology\, religious studies\, and history. \nFormat\nThere will be two 2.5-hour sessions each day. Each session will include an opening lecture and seminar-style discussion of the text and the issues at hand. Students will be expected to prepare the readings carefully and participate in the discussions of the material. \nLocation\nThe seminar will take place at the University of California\, Berkeley. Students will be provided with lodging\, meals\, and a travel stipend of up to $350. \nApplication Information\nThis seminar will be open to JD\, PhD students\, postdoctoral fellows\, and junior faculty in the humanities and relevant fields (such as philosophy\, theology\, English\, classics\, law and  history). \nApplicants will be required to submit: \n\nA completed online application form.\nAn updated CV.\nAt least one and as many as two letter(s) of recommendation from a member of the program in which the student is currently enrolled.\nA statement of research interest no longer than 750 words\, which includes an explanation of how this seminar might bear on the student’s current or future research plans.\nOne academic writing sample (30 pages maximum).\n\nAll application materials can be submitted via the online application.
