Summary/Abstract: Augustine’s thesis that redemption of man is not possible without the assistance of God’s grace could be interpreted not only as the basis of a doctrine which is formed in spite of libertarian potential of early Christianity, but also as the basis of the doctrine which could have been accepted within the Christian spiritual circles thanks to its emancipatory sense. The author tries to examine the emancipatory potential of Augustine’s understanding of grace considering Augustine’s critique of action which is based on the respect for the law, and then he shows the way the doctrine of grace becomes significant for the new, christian understanding of the self and for the ontological foundation of Christian religion, too.
