La importancia del amor en San Agustín como componente de su conversión.

Abstract

The philosophical analysis starts from the question: Is it possible that love in Saint Augustine allows us to distinguish good and evil in the human being, establishing the parameters that help us to know the ways of faith and the perfecting of the soul? In this way, it was worked from the main book The Confessions (2010) of Saint Augustine. The analysis was carried out based on the objective: to analyze from the philosophy of Saint Augustine of Hippo the love and perfection of the soul, which allow identifying good and evil in the human being, as a mechanism to lead to grace, the purification and salvation of the soul. Methodology: It is a work of interpretation understood as a systematization of thought, capable of examining, reflecting, and arguing on a work of religious philosophy as is the text The Confessions (2010) by Augustine of Hippo. In addition, with the support of other books, articles and from where the understanding of the subject is expanded. The conclusion: the breakdown of work is an important aspect in human society, since it allows to distinguish the behaviors and behaviors of Augustine, and the essential thing is that every human being asks himself the path he is taking to this day and identifies the kind of love that allows to achieve a change for the salvation and purification of his soul.
