St. Augustine and Marcus Aurelius

Abstract: A 3 page paper comparing the two philosophers and their views on the nature of the universe as well as how we should react to others. Both believed that there was only good in the world. St. Augustine's view was that evil was either the absence or perversion of the good that exists. Marcus Aurelius maintained that the universe is a rational one and that any event serves to maintain the universe as being rational. If anyone believed himself to have been wronged, the belief was a flaw with the one taking offense rather than with the one committing the action. No sources listed.
