Abstract

Deze correspondentie is een pittig steekspel tussen de kerkvader Augustinus en een zekere Secundinus, een manicheeër. Augustinus analyseert en beredeneert de verschilpunten tussen het manicheïsme en het katholieke geloof. Tegelijkertijd rekent hij met zijn manicheïsche verleden af. Het antwoord aan Secundinus is naar zijn mening het beste dat hij ooit tegen deze 'pest' geschreven heeft.

Abstract

Reading Augustine is a new line of books offering personal readings of St. Augustine of Hippo from leading philosophers and religious scholars. The aim of the series is to make clear Augustine's importance to contemporary thought and to present Augustine not only or primarily as a pre-eminent Christian thinker but as a philosophical, spiritual, literary and intellectual icon of the West. Why did the ancients come to adopt monotheism and Christianity? On God, The Soul, Evil and the Rise of Christianity introduces possible answers to that question by looking closely at the development of the thought of Augustine of Hippo, whose complex spiritual trajectory included Gnosticism, academic skepticism, pagan Platonism, and orthodox Christianity. What was so compelling about Christianity and how did Augustine become convinced that his soul could enter into communion with a transcendent God? The apparently sudden shift of ancient culture to monotheism and Christianity was momentous, defining the subsequent nature of Western religion and thought. John Peter Kenney shows us that Augustine offers an unusually clear vantage point to understand the essential ideas that drove that transition.

Abstract

Ce livre se propose d’étudier l’influence de saint Augustin sur l’écriture et la pensée des Essais et de déterminer l’originalité de Montaigne dans son interprétation et son adaptation de la Cité de Dieu.Les nombreuses éditions de la Cité de Dieu à la Renaissance résultent de différentes interprétations de l’oeuvre d’Augustin, et ce sont notamment les commentaires de Jean-Louis Vivès sur la Cité de Dieu qui contribuent à stimuler l’écriture des Essais. Certaines idées morales de Montaigne, comme la théorie des passions, l’opinion sur le suicide ou la notion de bonheur, font écho à l’anthropologie d’Augustin. Par ailleurs, Montaigne rejoint la théologie augustinienne dans sa critique du rationalisme et sa mise en avant de la primauté de la foi chrétienne.Tout en prenant en considération les contextes historique, culturel et idéologique de la Renaissance, ce travail montre non seulement l’importance de saint Augustin dans la formation des Essais, mais aussi la nouveauté de Montaigne dans l’histoire de la réception de la Cité de Dieu à la fin du XVIe siècle.

Abstract

In Augustine and Plotinus: the Human Mind as Image of the Divine Laela Zwollo provides an inside view of two of the most influential thinkers of late antiquity: the Christian Augustine and the Neo-Platonist Plotinus. By exploring the finer points and paradoxes of their doctrines of the image of God (the human soul/intellect), the illustrious church father's complex interaction with his most important non-biblical source comes into focus. In order to fathom Augustine, we should first grasp the beauty in Plotinus' philosophy and its attractiveness to Christians. This monograph will contribute to a better understanding of the formative years of Christianity as well as later ancient philosophy. It can serve as a handbook for becoming acquainted with the two thinkers, as well as for delving into the profundity of their thought.

Abstract

Idipsum est une locution qu’Augustin utilise pour désigner Dieu. Elle signifie littéralement « cela même ». Ce minimalisme sémantique ne laisse pas de la rendre mystérieuse. Faut-il y voir un emprunt à certains textes bibliques qui déjà en font usage ? Dans ce cas, idipsum, tel un nom propre vide de toute signification, se bornerait à indiquer Dieu en tant qu’il échappe à toute définition rationnelle. Ou bien faut-il rattacher idipsum à la tradition platonicienne qui recourt à des locutions grecques similaires pour désigner la réalité intelligible qui est « elle-même en elle-même » ? Idipsum serait alors la trace d’un héritage philosophique conduisant Augustin à une définition métaphysique de Dieu comme Être absolu. Cependant, cette alternative entre origine biblique et tradition platonicienne néglige la diversité des usages philosophiques des locutions formées sur auto puis ipsum : elles expriment d’abord l’identité et le fait d’être soi, puis la réflexivité, au croisement des champs dialectique, pratique et ontologique. Cet ouvrage explore la façon dont ces aspects de l’identité se sont construits, du autos grec à l’idipsum latin, à travers des études portant sur Homère, Platon, Aristote, le stoïcisme, le néoplatonisme grec puis latin, Augustin.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to present, as far as possible, a general description of the theory of the sign and signification in Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD), with a view to its evaluation and implications for the study of semiotics. Accurate studies for subject, discipline, and significance have not yet given an organic and systematic vision of Augustine's theory of the sign. The underlying aspiration is that such an endeavour will prove to be beneficial to the scholars of Augustine's thought as well as to those with a keen interest in the history of semiotics. The study uses Augustine's own accounts to investigate and interpret the philosophical problem of the sign. The focus lies on the first decade of Augustine's literary production. The De dialectica, is taken as the terminus ad quo of the study, and the De doctrina christiana is the terminus ad quem. The selected texts show an explicit engagement with poignant discussion on the nature and structure of the sign, the variety of signs and their uses. Although Augustine?s intention never was to establish a theory of meaning as an independent field of study, he largely employed a theory of signs. Thus, Augustine's approach to signs is intrinsically meaningful.
