Augustine's De Beata Vita: On Christianity and Philosophy
No full textIn Augustineâ s De beata vita: On Christianity and Philosophy, I articulate how Augustine understood the relationship between Christianity and philosophy at the time of his conversion, in light of the dialogue De beata vita. In the dialogue, Augustine and his interlocutors take up a philosophical genre, a philosophical mode of inquiry, and a philosophical question: this is a work on the happy life, in dialogue form, in which the interlocutors are asking what it takes for a person to be happy. Augustine is writing as one in a tradition of philosophers seeking to understand and pursue happiness, and makes ready reference to the arguments and conclusions those philosophers have made. The completion of the human inquiry in the dialogue is theological in nature: while happiness is seen by philosophers to be the possession or having of God, the fulfillment of this comes from Christianity in the form of the indwelling of the Holy Trinityâ a revealed truth.
While philosophy is, in some modes, theological, revealed theology outstrips the capacities of philosophy. The two are consonant, however. To see this consonance, I engage in a close reading of the dialogue. Then, I look at the various authors whose influence on this particular dialogue are clear. The most notable of those are Ambrose, Cicero, and Plotinus. Finally, I make my argument that Augustine sees Christianity and philosophy as consonant: that is, Christianity encompasses true philosophy, and a Christian engaged in the activity of philosophizing is a philosopher par excellence. However, Christianity is not only philosophy, nor is philosophy a requirement for being a Christian, and Augustineâ s mother Monica demonstrates that. She plays an important role both as her particular status as a fully initiated Christian, and as a representative of the Church. Without formal philosophical training, she has attained to the summit of philosophy, and under her maternal care she shares her wisdom with all persons who are chastely seeking it

EMPIRICAL STUDY OF THE ANTECEDENTS OF POLICY NON-COMPLIANCE, THE ROLE OF LEADERSHIP, AND THE MEDIATING ROLE OF NORM LEGITIMACY
No full textCorporate policy non-compliance continues to be a major concern for many organizations. Non-compliance to policy can lead to loss in revenue. Many organizations have measures in place to address non-compliance such as monitoring and enforcing policy. However, these measures do not always work. What leads to the non-compliance of policy? And what can organizations do to address the non-compliance? By integrating neutralizations, this study investigated the mechanisms that employees use to mitigate anticipated guilt from unethical behavior intention. The study also incorporated ethical leadership (EL) to investigate how direct managersâ ethical behaviors influence employee behavioral intentions.
A field study research design was employed to test the conceptual model of intention to comply. Self -report data were collected from a sample in the United States (N = 334) and analyzed. The results show that neutralization mediates the relationship between ethical leadership and norm legitimacy. These findings suggest that when employees use neutralizations, they negate the influence of ethical leadership on policy legitimacy, and they are then more likely to be non-compliant with policy. The most important implications of these findings are that neutralizations influence employee intentions through the medium of norm legitimacy, and that influence makes non-compliance to policy the â normâ . This finding indicates that creating an awareness of how managers can mitigate the use of neutralizations can help address policy non-compliance. Theoretical and practical implications for ethical leadership and neutralization research are discussed, and future research recommendations are included
