XIX Makes up for the last few books being not too philosophical in a big way. Teleology, governmental philosophy, metaphysics, and virtue theory all creep in.
I think Augustine is considered a Christian Platonist for good reason, but in teleology and governmental philosophy, his writings do have a smack of Aristotelianism to them.

There’s a passage in this book where Augustine gives due credit to philosophers of the earthly city, saying they find some truth in their argumentation, but that they stop short of finding full truth because they lack the measure and aim which comes with God. Tempted to think Augustine is sketching a proof of God’s existence by objective morality, but not sure.
