Soliloquies

The Soliloquies of Augustine is a two book document written by the 4th century saint, Augustine of Hippo. The book has the form of an "inner dialogue" in which questions are posed, discussions take place and answers are provided, leading to self-knowledge. The first book begins with an inner dialogue which seeks to know a soul. In the second book it becomes clear that the soul Augustine wants to get to know is his own.
