Summary/Abstract: Lie and truth are two components of an existence based on knowledge and effective action. Where there are people, there are not only values, culture, civilizations and heritages, through which and from which the foundations of this world and its unity are constituted. But there are also interests. And the interests are rarely consonant, but always competing and even conflicting. The lie appears in this area and, nolens, volens, is part, as an evil, sly and opportunistic island, in duality with the crystal light of the Truth, of the dynamics and cognitive supports of this world. Saint Augustine understood this existential and cognitive duality and carefully analyzed its dark side, which sometimes shines when you catch your eyes: the lie.
