Średniowieczne pretomistyczne koncepcje stosunku filozofii do teologii: Myśl świętego Augustyna
Some Medieval Pre-Thomist Conceptions of the Relationship Obtaining between Philosophy and Theology: The Case Study of Saint Augustine's Thought

Summary/Abstract: This article forms a part of Rev. Prof. Marian Kurdziajek’s lecture devoted to the pre-Thomist conceptions od philosophy-theology relationship. More precisely, this article is a reconstruction of the Prof. Kurdziajek ‘s discussion of the relevant ideas in St. Augustine’s thought. To begin with, Kurdziajek presents St. Augustine’s holistic understanding of philosophy and theology as essentially one and the same endeavor, a way leading to beatitude. He goes on to illustrate this thesis with a number of quotes, chiefly from Augustine’s philosophical dialogues, but also from his later writings. Kurdziajek then proceeds to discuss the place of ethical knowledge in Augustine’s theology and the relationship of cosmology and theology in thought of the bishop of Hippo. The lecture is concluded by a presentation of Augustine’s psychology, again conceived as a starting point of a spiritual itinerary, one of the ways ultimately leading to God.
