Résumé
--
Although the different chapters of this book each treat a specific facet of Augustine's thinking, they are grouped according to the axiom: 'Noverim me, noverim Te!'(To know me, to know You!) The thoughts of Augustine are developed between these indissociable poles, man and God. The first nine studies are placed under the sign of God's face the following nine strive to consider man in his temporal condition. The ensemble bears witness to the logic of a life in the face of God, a logic that the subtitle of the work underlines: 'Splendour and wretchedness of man'. On each page, Augustine is revealed as a tireless searcher for the truth, before and after his conversion: 'O Lord my God, my only hope, hear me in your goodness. grant that I may not stop seeking you when I am weary, but seek your presence ever more fervently' (Ps 104, 4). 'Grant me the force to seek you, you who first allowed me to find you and gave me hope to know you more and more.' Augustine takes the reader with him on his search. Although he is considered a master in Western theology, it is truly in spite of himself. For we have only one Master, the inner Master, and we are all his pupils. Augustine accepted the role of teacher, at most. But in that role, he is unmatched.
