Chapter 13: Augustus, Augustine

Tick, tick, time continues to walk. The Dark King suddenly mentioned it, and looked at him sitting on the chair waiting, wondering what he was waiting for?

The King of Darkness realized that the Emperor of Music, who was still in the musical fantasy, stood with his hands in his hands, and a pair of eyes appeared in the deep starry sky, and the starry sky was beautiful and mysterious.

Breaking through the music world's fantasy music realm of the Music Emperor, the Dark King carried a piece of time music, rushed through the galaxy, and left the Three Realms directly.

shattered the music of time, and the time and space were filled with countless chaotic sounds of time. Time is also a kind of music, the heart of the dark king said:

"The realm after the death music is the eternal time music, each other are the same level of musical attributes, can not be cracked for a while, only looking at the author in a daze and waiting, he understands that the world does not tolerate ticking, ticking, ticking time has been continuing to walk, gone, everything is gone, everything before is dead, just like yesterday was dead.

With the direction of the existence of the Sense Demon Man, the Dark King roared away.

At the entrance of the Demon Hero, countless waves of light circled outward layer after layer, Augustus (Augustus "the Chinese translation of the Latin Augustus, plural Augusti" originally meant "sacred" and "noble", with religious and theological implications. Its feminine form is Augusta.

The synonym for Greek is "Σεβαστ?? (Sebastos), or "Augoustos" transliterated from Latin. Augustus is most commonly used to refer to Octavian, the first citizen of the Roman Empire, but Augustus can also be used as a Roman emperor.

After the fall of the Roman Empire, many European aristocrats often used Augustus as a male name. Especially on the territory of the Holy Roman Empire. )

Augustine (Auzelius Augustine, 354-430), Christian theologian and philosopher, and the main representative of the Latin Church Fathers. Born into a family of ordinary citizens in the city of Tagaste (present-day Suk Ahlas, Algeria) in North Africa.

His mother was a devout Christian, and Augustine was influenced by her mother from an early age. As a child, he went to school in the city of Tagast. At the age of 12, he went to grammar school in the city of Udullah and graduated at the age of 16.

Due to his family's financial difficulties, he dropped out of school for one year. At the age of 17, he went to the city of Carthage to attend the school of eloquence. At the age of 19, he developed a keen interest in philosophy and began to explore the question of the origin of good and evil. Thus he converted to Manichaeism.

After graduating from the school of elocution. He taught first in the city of Tagaste and then in Carthage, for a total of 8 years. Dissatisfied with Carthage's style of learning, he crossed the sea to Rome. and professor of eloquence in Milan.

In Milan, Augustine was heavily influenced by the Bishop of Milan, Ambrose. Officially broke away from Manichaeism. Begin to approach Christianity. After a fierce ideological struggle, in the autumn of 386, he converted to Christianity. and resigned from his professorship.

He was ordained a priest in 391. In 395, he was appointed Bishop of Hippo, North Africa. From then on, he began to engage in fierce polemics with various denominations within Christianity, and wrote a large number of philosophical and theological works for this purpose, becoming a central figure in Christian scholarship at that time.

In 430, the Vandals invaded North Africa and laid siege to the city of Hippo, where Augustine died of illness on August 28 of that year.

Augustine was the most widely written of the Latin Fathers of ancient Christianity, with more than 90 writings, in addition to a large number of books and sermons. His main works include: "On the City of God", "The Three-Body Theory", "Confessions", etc.

Augustine was not only a Christian theologian and philosopher, but also an educational thinker. His educational theories had a very extensive and profound impact on medieval education in Western Europe, especially on church education, and was an important theoretical basis for the formulation of educational policies by the Christian churches in the Middle Ages.

The original name of the "Confessiones" is "Confessiones", and the classical Latin text interprets it as "confession, confession of sin", but in church literature, it is turned to acknowledging the greatness of God, which has the meaning of praise.

Originally, he emphasized the latter meaning, that is, to recount the blessings of God throughout his life and to sing praises to God, but he generally emphasized the first meaning, so in ancient China it was called "Confessions", and in Europe "Confessions" has become another name for autobiography.

Book 1 is a celebration of God, a record of the events from birth to fifteen years old.

Books 2 and 3 account his youth and life as a student in Carthage.

Volumes 4 and 5 describe his teaching career before he went to Milan.

Books 6 and 7 describe the process of his ideological transformation.

Volume 8 describes the causes, processes, and results of one of his ideological struggles.

Book 9 is the story of his conversion to Christianity and the death of his mother.

Book 10 is an analysis of his thoughts at the time of writing.

Books 10 to 13 interpret the first chapter of the Old Testament Book of Genesis, which concludes with the work of God's six-day creation.

In the book, Ao not only reveals sincere emotions, but also makes a very profound analysis of his own actions and thoughts, and his writing is delicate and vivid, with a unique style, which has become a representative work in late Latin literature and is listed as one of the masterpieces of ancient Western literature.

Augustine's educational ideas had a profound impact on education in medieval Western Europe.

This effect is twofold. On the negative side, the obscurantism, asceticism, corporal punishment, mechanical training, and hostile attitudes towards ancient Greek and Roman scholarship that prevailed in medieval schools were all influenced to some extent by Augustinian thought.

The monopoly of school education by the church in the Middle Ages, and the fact that education became a tool of the church and a means of the Christian faith, were all related to Augustine's thought.

In this sense, Augustine's influence on the evolution of education in later generations was negative, even reactionary.

On the other hand, Augustine's influence on later generations also had certain positive elements. His ideas about the usefulness of secular knowledge to the Christian faith had an influence on the early medieval church's efforts to preserve classical texts and on the organization of educational activities in monastic schools.

His assertion of a series of fundamental questions about Christian education provided the theoretical basis for church education throughout the Middle Ages and for the formulation of church education policy.

Not only that, but while Augustine's education had an element of mysticism and was objectively idealistic, it contained some reasonable insights.

His discussion of language teaching methods and his emphasis on the role of teaching content in achieving educational goals are reasonable.

"The Three Great Confessions of the World"

Rousseau's Confessions, a modern philosopher, thought marked the end of the age of reason and the birth of romanticism. There is a personal political mind and an ethical mind.

The musical and artistic transformations are creative. It has had a profound impact on the way of life of the Western race. Parents are taught to educate their children to be non-stereotypical and to teach them according to their aptitude.

Deepen the emotional expression of friendship and love, and not be bound by formality and courtesy. Opening your eyes to the splendor of nature makes freedom an almost universal aspiration of the human race.

Leo Tolstoy's Confessions, writer, reformer, moral thinker. He was an individualistic aristocrat who, in his later years, tried unsuccessfully to live a poor peasant life.

At first, he was quiet, but eventually became a complete puritan. is "an ordinary person". Self-aware, full of human feelings, thoughtful, clear-sighted, and emotional.

It is the moralist who excavates his soul with cruel fanaticism and ruthless coldness. All generations have been striving to achieve self-improvement through self-portrayal, without stopping, without rising, and without letting art become a formality.

The value of a work is not determined by the age in which it was produced, but in an eternal classical sense, the works of Augustine, Rousseau, and Tolstoy have never faded due to the passage of time, but have influenced the hearts of future generations with their charm.
