Monica, his mother is a devout Christian. Augustine starts off by praising to God and that it is the natural desire of all men. However, Augustine does not have a lot of knowledge about

Augustine's Concept of Politics For Augustine, political life is a necessary evil. Why is it evil and why is it necessary? How then, does his claim influence his political theory?
