Abstract

The paper notes that the study of the personality of Augustine (354—430) and his writings is inextricably linked with his ideas on the soul, which occupy an important place in European religious and philosophical thought. Indeed, referring to any of the teachings of Augustine — whether it is the doctrine of the universe, time, memory, the relationship between free will and divine predestination, and others, — one should take into account his ideas on soul. The so-called psychologism of Augustine, noted by researchers of his vast creative heritage, is also associated with them. Those texts of Augustine which seem to be the most significant for the reconstruction and study of Augustine’s psychological concept are identified. There are “Confessions”, “On Order”, “On the Immortality of the Soul”, “The Soliloquies”, “City of God”, and others. It is noted that Augustine does not devote one or another of his works only to the problem of the soul; that his views on the soul can be reconstructed from individual fragments and lines taken from many other of his texts, diverse in terms of content, genre and problematic; that the involvement of the entire corpus of Augustine’s writings will allow not only to clarify his thought, to show the course of his reasoning, but also to study his psychological teaching more carefully.

KeywordsAugustine, creative heritage, ideas about the soul, reconstruction
