Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Twenty-first century neuroscience has discovered that in some severe cases, addiction may so constrain human freedom that the will is only able to choose to use substances of abuse. At this advanced stage, substance use has become the primary driver of salience, co-optingand subsuming other moral priorities and human rewards. Scholars have investigated Aristotles concept of akrasia as an ancient mirror of this understanding and there have been some preliminary discussions of Augustines concept of the divided will as it bears on addiction. No detailed and comprehensive exploration of the work of Augustine has yet been undertaken as it relates to three contemporary models of addiction: the choice, learning, and brain disease models. Augustines psychological awareness, his mastery of ancient theological and philosophical thinking, and his enormous and enduring influence on both Catholic and Protestant theology, make him an ideal subject for such research. This incisive book argues that Augustines doctrine of the captive will offers a theological parallel of each of these contemporary models of addiction. Presents a dialogue between the Augustine's Confessions and three modern neuroscientific models of addiction on the doctrine of the captivity of the will. This item is printed on demand.
