This lecture discusses key ideas from the early medieval philosopher and theologian, Augustine of Hippo's work, The Confessions.

It focuses specifically on his discussion in book 11 bearing upon how we can measure time.It seems a bit paradoxical when we examine it, since past and present don't really exist as the present does, and the present is just a moment. Augustine's solution is to say that we measure lengths of time against each other and that we use the capacity for memory in doing so.
