This pioneering textbook explores the theoretical background of cultural variety, both in past and present.

Religion and Pastness examines the implications of the Augustinian concept of time as favoring a-causality over linear continuity. From this viewpoint the various essays address problems of dynamics and stasis in texts, paintings and music ranging from Augustine to Abelard, Eriugena, Thoreau, Calvin, Shakespeare, Rubens, Bach, Stravinsky, Messiaen, Virginia Woolf, Cavell.
