- Title
Augustinus' Weg zum „Unendlich-Anderswie“ in den Confessiones.
- Authors
Schneider, Wolfgang Christian
- Abstract
The article "Augustine's Path to the 'Infinitely Different' in the Confessions" by Wolfgang Christian Schneider deals with Augustine's questions about calling upon God in his Confessions. The article examines the significance of these questions and compares them to the calling for divinity in other cultures. The text addresses various aspects of ancient religious beliefs and religious experiences. It also delves into Augustine's religious beliefs and early religious upbringing. The text describes Augustine's search for a religious-philosophical group, the Manichaeans, and his later disputes with their teachings. The text also explores Augustine's concept of transcendence and how he portrays it in his Confessions. It emphasizes that the term and content of transcendence are closely connected to this experience and should not simply be applied to any pursuit and perception of the divine. The text describes Augustine's spiritual journey and his reflections on the relationship between humans and God. It emphasizes that this spiritual horizon has profoundly shaped the European intellectual tradition.
