What were the political ramifications of Augustine's view of human nature?
All humans are born into original sin and they better spend their lives seeking grace,
God's intervention, rather than fooling around too much in only earthly matters. No
earthly gains, or political schemes, will ever last as long as "God's City." If
earth was your last stop, perhaps you might allow yourself to be driven by your
"libido dominandi." Allow yourself to be driven by ambition, that overwhelming
pride and greed, and you might find an earthly lifetime of affluence. But, since we must
all worry about our eternal life and becoming one with God's goodness, we must control our
libido's drive and realize that pride is unethical and evil. Humility is the proper virtue
to pursue in temporary earthly matters.
We all are born with desires, a need to dominate others and a
willingness to take advantage of others. This tendency to do bad is natural for humans.
Humans are conceived in sin and born fallen. But such a fallen state need not be eternal.
God's intervention can raise us. You do not achieve God's grace to stand within the scope
of the secular political communities, but within the Christian Community where, with the
help of others, you can live life as a Christian. Augustine took Christian vows of poverty
and obedience and (his most difficult one) chastity and lived within the Christian
Community to help him attain grace by living up to his promises.
Political problems, like the fall of Rome, were due to the
incompetence, corruptness and decadence of the political leaders and their subjects. These
leaders and citizens were wrong to feel their earthly empires would live for eternity. No
earthly paradise would ever reign for eternity, like "The City of God."
If you think I can help you find some particular
information, or simply answer any questions, about World History or about the
question what were the political ramifications of Augustine's view of human nature,
original sin, grace, God's intervention, libido dominandi, ambition, humility, conceived

anything else, just ask. My email address is ramann2997@AOL.com
