Abstract
This paper focuses on the way ... Eranos scholars used Augustinian symbols to
explicate the tensional relationship between time and eternity, finitude and infinity, creation
and God, and human being and God that Eranos scholars have theorized about, and that
thinkers have been grappling with since Plato characterized human existence as a cave
and wondered how to convince philosophers to reenter it.
