St. Augustine claims, in his City of God, that man is social but not political by nature. In terms of the Advent of Chirst, St. Augustine claims a new end for man and, likewise, a new citizen. Augustine susggests that the political order is not the comprehensive human endeavor where man find his end as Aristotle posited, but rather that the political order is a comprehensive representation of the Fall - a reflection of man's sinful nature not the original nature found in Paradise. The difficulty here is following: How is man to be a citizen, properly speeking (as an integral part of society), while simultaneously sojourning to the City of God? How is this different from the philosophic contempt for civic life? Or is it a reessment of the human person in terms of the advent of Christ? How does the Life, Death and Resurrection of Christ make the new citizen possible? Any response would be greatly appreciated.
