  • manichaean women in Augustine s life and works
    Vigiliae Christianae, 2015
    Co-Authors: Johannes Van Oort
    Abstract:

    The study of women in Manichaeism is still in its infancy. The present article aims to contribute to this promising field of research by concentrating on the writings of the former Manichaean Augustine (354-430). A considerable number of data emerge from his works, which elucidate the presence and role of Manichaean women in Roman North Africa. It turns out that, at quite different stages of his life, Augustine came into contact with female Manichaeans and described their significance very differently.

  • in the wake of lombard the reception of Augustine in the early thirteenth century
    Augustinian Studies, 2015
    Co-Authors: Eric Leland Saak
    Abstract:

    This article investigates the new attitude toward the reception and use of Augustine in the early thirteenth century as seen in the works of Helinand of Froidmont and Robert Grosseteste. Both scholars were products of the Twelfth Century Renaissance of Augustine, represented in Peter Lombard’s Sentences, the Glossa Ordinaria, and Gratian’s Decretum. Yet both Helinand and Grosseteste reconstructed Augustine’s texts for their own purposes; they did not simply use Augustine as an authority. Detailed and thorough textual analysis reveals that the early thirteenth century was a high point in Augustine’s reception, and one which effected a transformation of how Augustine’s texts were used, a fact [has] often been obscured in the historiographical debates of the relationship between “Augustinianism” and “Aristotelianism.” Moreover, in point to the importance of Helinand’s world chronicle, his Chronicon, this article argues for the importance of compilations as a major source for the intellectual and textual history of the high Middle Ages. Thus, the thirteenth century appears as the bridge between the Augustinian Renaissance of the Twelfth Century, and that of the Fourteenth, making clear the need for further research and highlighting the importance of the early thirteenth century for a thorough understanding of the historical reception of Augustine.

  • St. Augustine on Pride: Ilusion of Pride and Breaking Trough
    Univerzita Karlova Filozofická fakulta, 2020
    Co-Authors: Bezoušková Alena
    Abstract:

    (in English) According to Augustine, to be proud means to aspire to a position which belongs to God. That is, to not admit one's dependence on God and to misunderstand one's relationships towards others. In my thesis I analyse the experience of one who becomes proud and stays in a sin of pride as well as someone who overcomes pride. Pride appears when a man starts to see himself as a source of his goodness. A sin of pride is accompanied by a false image of oneself and of the world and also by an inability to reflect on one's poverty. Only when pride manifests itself in an act is it possible for a sinner to admit and overcome it. This is because the acts of the proud have different results than he expects. They lead to his humiliation. I devote the most space in my thesis to the manifestation of pride in actions and their consequences. To better understand this process, I present an analysis of Augustine's interpretation of three biblical stories, in which, according to Augustine, pride manifests. This analysis also shows that the manifestation of pride in an action doesn't necessarily have to lead to overcoming pride in the proud.(česky) Být pyšný podle Augustina znamená aspirovat na pozici, která náleží Bohu. Tedy nepřipouštět si svou závislost na Bohu a špatně chápat svůj vztah k druhým. Ve své práci zkoumám prožitek toho, kdo se stává pyšným, v hříchu pýchy setrvává, a rovněž toho, kdo se pýchy zbavuje. Pýcha se u člověka zrodí v momentě, kdy o sobě začne uvažovat jako o zdroji vlastní dobroty. Hřích pýchy pak s sebou nese zkreslené představy o sobě a o světě a neschopnost reflektovat na svou bídu. Pýchu je možné si připustit a překonat až v momentě, kdy se u pyšného projeví v jednání. Jednání pyšného totiž dopadá jinak, než si pyšný představoval. V důsledku vede k jeho ponížení. Projevení pýchy v jednání a jeho důsledkům věnuji ve své práci nejvíce prostoru. Pro lepší porozumění tomuto procesu uvádím rozbor Augustinova výkladu tří biblických příběhů, v nichž podle Augustina dochází k projevení pýchy v jednání. Na něm se rovněž ukáže, že projev pýchy v jednání nemusí u pyšného nutně vést k odvržení pýchy.Ústav filosofie a religionistikyInstitute of Philosophy and Religious StudiesFaculty of ArtsFilozofická fakult
