On the other hand although Augustine is a neo platonic scholar and has a different idea from Gazelle concerning the metaphysic all basis, (since he believes in free- will), but at last the impact of Christianity behaviorist rules led to this theory that the best criteria for morality valves of deeds is just God’s orders.
