The Soliloquies of Augustine is a two-book document written by the 4th-century saint, Augustine of Hippo.[1]
The book has the form of an "inner dialogue" in which questions are posed, discussions take place and answers are provided, leading to self-knowledge.[2] The first book begins with an inner dialogue which seeks to know a soul. In the second book it becomes clear that the soul Augustine wants to get to know is his own.[3]
