Summary
Augustine’s work On Eighty-Three Different Questions consists of a series of his responses to various philosophical and theological questions raised by members of the monastic community at Tagaste in North Africa. The quaestio numbered as forty-six within this collection bears the subtitle “On Ideas” (De Ideis) and is a relatively straightforward doxographical explanation of the theory of Forms held by Plato and his followers.1 It consists first, of a historical argument for the existence of the Ideas stating that all philosophers have maintained their existence although they have not always applied a fixed terminology to them. Second, it contains a cosmological argument for the Ideas’ existence, stating that any religious person reflecting on the existence, life, and order of the world will conclude that the latter has been created according to reason.
