Abstract

Wetzel tells us that "limits" in the title of this volume intends to connote two things. Negatively, it refers to Augustine's dissatisfaction with pagan accounts of virtue, especially their blindness toward the psychology of inner conflict. Positively, it refers to the saint's reformulated understanding of virtue within a theistic context in which he stresses the motivational integrity of graced willing.
