Augustine's Confessions, Mannequi and Astrologer

Augustine's confessions, book four, mannequi and astrologer. Augustine writes that nothing, neither his education in the liberal arts and sciences, nor his Manicchaean religion, nor the fashionable doctrines of Neoplatonism gave him solace either in his twenties or in hindsight. At this dark hour, Augustine found some soulless in his friendships in Carthage.
