Augustine and Modernity is a clear challenge to the typical modern interpretation of Augustine as the father and precursor to Cartesian subjectivism. Arguing from a close reading of Augustine, particularly in the work of De Trinitate, Hamby shows that Augustine, in fact, offers an alternative to the pervasive subjectivism of post-Cartesian modernity. Hamby suggests the similarity between the stoic philosophy of Augustine's time and Cartesianism, and utilizes Augustine's engagement with stoicism, his concept of the the Trinity, and view of the human soul, as a way to deconstruct the stoic-Cartesian subjectivism. Particular moments in Hamby's treatment of Augustine leads one away from the idea of reading a scholarly work of Christian philosophy, and into a doxological attitude. Other points, however necessary, become tedious and remind readers again of the kind of text they are reading. Still a great contribution to Augustine studies, modernity, and the Church's reorientation after the fall of the Modern project.
