Augustin d'Hippone

Augustine of Hippo, also known as Saint Augustine, was a prominent early Christian philosopher and theologian who lived from 354 to 430 AD. His writings, including "Confessions" and "The City of God," significantly shaped Western Christianity and philosophy. Augustine explored topics like the nature of God, free will, original sin, and human morality. He emphasized the importance of faith and divine grace in achieving salvation and believed that human beings need God's help to overcome sin. His ideas continue to influence Christian theology, philosophy, and Western intellectual history.
