《The Augustinian Imperative》是美國學者William E. Connolly於2002年出版的學術著作。全書以政治思想史上的核心人物奧古斯丁為研究對象，旨在通過重新詮釋其思想脈絡，展開對自由主義社會智識根基的考古學考察。[來源1][來源2]
作者藉助尼采與福柯的理論框架，揭示了“奧古斯丁命令”潛藏的倫理困境：該範式支撐者常將動搖本體論自信的生命符號轉化為需被譴責、懲罰或改造的“他者”形態。書中通過剖析奧古斯丁對該範式的實踐運作，系統探討了替代性倫理政治取向的可能路徑，從而折射出現代社會道德治理的深層結構。[來源1][來源2][來源3]

Drawing support from Nietzsche and Foucault, Connolly argues that the Augustinian Imperative contains unethical implications: its carriers too often convert living signs that threaten their ontological self-confidence into modes of otherness to be condemned, punished, or converted in order to restore that confidence. With a lucidity and rhetorical power that makes it readily accessible, The Augustinian Imperative examines Augustine's enactment of the Imperative, explores alternative ethico-political orientations, and subsequently reveals much about the politics of morality in the modern age.
