Is Knowledge Enough? St. Augustine on Faith, Will, and the Crisis of Modern Life in Hindi

Описание: This lecture explores St. Augustine’s philosophy in dialogue with Greek philosophy, asking a central question: Is knowledge enough to transform human life? While thinkers like Socrates, Plato, the Stoics, and the Epicureans argued that ignorance is the root of moral failure, Augustine challenges this view by emphasizing the role of the will, love, and desire. Through a comparison of faith and reason, this lecture examines Augustine’s critique of rationalism and his concept of disordered love as the deeper cause of human confusion, addiction, and moral weakness.

Connecting Augustine to the crisis of modern life, the lecture addresses themes such as information overload, technological progress, anxiety, identity conflict, and moral uncertainty. It analyzes whether wisdom is achieved through reason or received through transformation, and whether education alone can guide human behavior. This session offers a clear and structured academic introduction to Augustine’s thought, focusing on faith, reason, the human will, conversion, and the problem of ignorance versus disordered desire.
