filosofia di Agostino di Ippona

Agostino e l’estetica

As already the title wishes to underline, the subject of the article doesn’t concern a more or less convincing aesthetics of Augustine, but the question about the role that the philosophy of Augustine – and in particular his idea of truth as revelation, far from the classical paradigm of the adaequatio –, has had in the formation of Aesthetics. In fact, since Soliloquia and De mendacio, we see how Augustine contended with a concept of truth capable of taking into account the requests raised by the model of scriptural truth.
