The HERMENEUTICS IN AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO (354-430)

2024-11-19T15:42:57-06:00

The study of the thought of Augustine of Hippo has been and continues to be a philosophical question that today it is important to remember and keep in mind for a deepening in relation to the way in which the African philosopher managed to study and understand the internal structure of man, as interiority, which incites to think and rethink the meaning of it. It is interesting,
then, to inquire how and what were the elements, tools or processes that Augustine used to make his interpretations. That is, a hermeneutic dimension invites us to an approach to analyze and study the limits and parameters of understanding that made this
interpretation possible.

AFFECTIVITY, ILLNESS AND PAIN.

The purpose of this investigation is to elucidate, in the light of the fundamental ontology of the first Heidegger, the way in which Phenomenology, illness and pain are lived as experiences that can fulfill a function analogous to that of anxiety within the development of the plan of existential analytics. Within these conditions, the question would be, whether or not these experiences
could lead Dasein to the possession of his own being and a new consciousness, both of himself and of the world. Within these
conditions, what is also intended to be shown is how disease and pain, in parallel with the phenomenon of anguish, can open Dasein in its different ways of being or meeting in the world and from here show that ultimately what is at the base of the existential analytics of Dasein is the fundamental question of how we affectively find ourselves in each particular case.

CULTURES, RELIGIONS AND DIALOGUE

We currently find ourselves in a context of geopolitical instability with serious economic consequences where some events at a local and global level acquire a very particular meaning, opening themselves to speculations full of contradictions and with millenarian tones. Furthermore, the pandemic has radically modified the perception of time and is becoming one of those turning points that change the course of history. From the global health emergency to the conversion of the Hagia Sophia into a mosque in Istanbul and the storming of the Capitol in Washington, D.C., with its violent altercations, we are faced with historical phenomena that will be analyzed for years in university classrooms for their cultural impact and emotional. Starting from this framework, in this essay I would like to take a trip in time starting from the East until reaching some central events in the religious history of humanity.

The Name

The purpose of this article is to examine the meaning of the name assigned to a person under the Benjaminian notion of trace, understood as “the appearance of a closeness, however far it may be in what he left behind”. We intend to categorize these traces primarily from literary cases.
