Augustine
De Mendacio
for some, Der Wege out of the postmodern morass.
This is a text written by an early Christian philosopher who is also a canonized saint in his own religious tradition.
On Lying
The inspiration for the essay is derived at least in part from the arguments Paul had with Peter over the intersection of Judaism and Christianity, and consequently of the classical philosophy Augustine himself had studied and was trying to integrate with his new faith. if someone were interested in the historical continuity of these things, Guglielmo Spirito has an ai generated abstract of an article as yet unuploaded on Academia.edu about the embalming of history versus its creative force, which is what Paul and the early Church were faced with guiding and clarifying.
