This lecture discusses key ideas from the early medieval philosopher and theologian, Augustine of Hippo's work, The Confessions. It focuses specifically on his discussion in book 10 of the temptations involved in the "concupiscence of the eyes", namely our tendency to take delight or interest in the things that we see with this sense, and the drive of curiosity, the desire to know things that are really not our concern or our business .
