Pilgrimage as Moral and Aesthetic Formation in Augustine’s Thought. By Sarah Stewart-Kroeker
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Theperegrinus of Augustine has been compared to Der Wanderer of Schubert’s song in his romantic discontent and yearning. In his Confessions to be an intelligence in time is to be inescapably unfinished, consistently in search. This yearning and this search are the theme of Sarah Stewart-Kroeker’s Pilgrimage as Moral and Aesthetic Formation in Augustine’s Thought, based on her doctoral dissertation. She presents the peregrinatio image as disclosing his central concerns and offers an account of peregrinatio as a process of moral–aesthetic formation made possible by desire for the beauty of Christ. Augustine’s vision of this formation emerges over time and is scattered across his works. Stewart-Kroeker draws its elements together to clarify and analyse. She begins in chapter 1 by describing the Plotinian sources of the peregrinatio image. Augustine’s christological commitments have been likened to those of Barth but she shows how they develop over time through an increasingly polemical depiction of ‘the Platonists’ and his departure from them. Chapter 2 presents Augustine’s account of Christ as bridging the ontological divide between humanity and God by being both way and home, via and patria.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
