ST. AUGUSTINE'S EPISTEMOLOGY AND THE EDUCATION PROCESS
St. Augustine's epistemology can be seen in his doctrine of divine illumination, where he distinguishes knowledge got through the senses, inferior reason, and superior reason. Augustine was interested in education and he was a teacher very interested in how learners get the best knowledge from the teaching and learning process. He held that love of God, expressed through love of neighbour was to be the bedrock of the teacher-pupil relationship, but he did not clearly state the bridge or connecting link between the teaching and learning process. So, through critical analysis. This essay intends to explore Augustine's divine illumination theory as the missing link between teaching and learning. It employs the method of exposition and critical analysis.
