• Title:
  Ontological Premises of Augustine’s Anthropology
• Creator:
  Warchał, Robert Artur
• Description:
  This article aims to outline the main ideas of Augustine’s ontology and familiarize the reader with contemporary interpretations of this question. Contrary to other philosophers of his times, the Bishop of Hippo appreciated the role of flesh, which in his view not only affects sense-perception, but also constitutes an important aspect of human nature. In addition, the issue of the soul emphasized by the author deserves careful attention. Augustine has touched upon anthropological pluralism in his ontology. In this light, human being is not solely a system of neurons or a piece of matter, but remains a unique combination of the physical and spiritual realm. This particular phenomenon activates our efforts in the area of being, epistemology and also decides about spiritual realization.
