Abstract

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.
