Explain Augustine’s theory of knowledge of the world and God. How did Augustine position himself in the debate on the role of faith and reason? Discuss.
Knowledge is the true understanding of reality and it provides a rational basis on which to act. Behaviors based on knowledge lead to the achievement of personal and cultural objectives and general progress. Behaviors based on false understandings of reality are self-defeating and dangerous, and are the first cause of many of the evils that beset humanity.
God created the world and the study of the world and its constituents is at the same time the study of the handiwork of God. The study of God's creative acts through experience results in knowledge of created reality.
For Augustinian theory the world comprises a set of problems. By selecting problems for solution and coming to understand those problems through investigation the problem solver gains solutions which are understandings of those parts of reality being studied.
