- Augustine on Human Nature
- Original sin is ontological and all pervasive
- Fall. The evil will precedes the evil act
- Pre-Fall
- Adam and Eve lived as friends. Sexual intercourse is without lust
- The will is created by God from nothing. It can be selfish (cupiditas) or loving (caritas)
- Eden/paradise: humans and God lived in harmony
- Post-Fall
- The will is divided, being both rational and rebellious
- Concupiscence/lust dominates the will's appetitive self
- Image of God
- Women to be obedient to men (the veil symbol), rule household
- God's grace is the only means by which human will can be brought back into harmony
- Men to rule, be obedient to God and complete women
