Abstract
This paper, Augustine as "Naturalist of the Mind", is a linear portal to its associated graph-structured Tinderbox hypertext. The hypertext is one component of a research project arising out of a Philosophy seminar on Augustine as the preeminent bridge philosopher between the ancient world of Greece and Rome and the subsequent 1000 years of Western philosophy. The research project explores some surprising insights that emerged during this seminar from a deep study of Augustine's Confessions: Book 10-Memory. The purpose of the Augustine as "Naturalist of the Mind" Tinderbox hypertext is not only to be a multi-dimensional resource base for the research but also to provide an exploratorium where new materials can be added, new relationships created, and new research directions can be discovered and pursued.
