In his book, Sources of the Self, Ch. Taylor finds that St. Augustine was the creator of interiority, of the sense of freedom emerging from the incorruptible ground of human life, and of the idea of human society unified against evil, for “the life of the saints is social” as the Saint writes in The City of God. Thus, he ensures us that Kant is as much in debt to Augustine as Rousseau. The same could be said of Descartes and the creators of the rights of the human person, such as Locke, and other builders of the “modern identity”, such as romanticism, Goethe, and modernism which attempted to move past Augustine
beyond religion.
