Concerning the City of God Against the Pagans, trans. Curtis Tate (2014)

St. Augustine (324-428) was one of the most influential philosophers in the history of the Western world. This passage from his most famous book, The City of God, is an early expression of the belief that individuals are the ultimate units of societies and states.
