Confessions
In 397, Augustine of Hippo began writing a text unlike anything that had preceded it. Addressed entirely to God throughout all thirteen books, the Confessions narrates his intellectual and spiritual journey — through Manichaeism, Academic skepticism, and Neoplatonism — toward his conversion to Christianity, culminating in a sustained philosophical inquiry into memory, time, and the structure of the self.
Augustine asks why the mind has such poor knowledge of itself, descending into what he calls an abyss, discovering depths that exceed the self's own capacity for self-examination. He dismantles the ordinary understanding of time, arguing that past, present, and future are not properties of the external world but modes of the mind's own attention — an argument that remained foundational for phenomenology.
