Title: | Hannah Arendt e Hans Jonas interpreti del concetto agostiniano di volontà | Authors: | Catapano, Giovanni | Keywords: | Arendt; Jonas; Augustine | Issue Date: | 2008 | Publisher: | EUT Edizioni Università di Trieste | Source: | Giovanni Catapano, "Hannah Arendt e Hans Jonas interpreti del concetto agostiniano di volontà", in: Etica & Politica / Ethics & Politics, X (2008) 1, pp. 12-27. | Series/Report no.: | Etica & Politica / Ethics & Politics X (2008) 1 |
Abstract: | The paper compares chapter 6 of H. Arendt’s The Life of the Mind with H. Jonas’s first book, concerning Augustine and the Pauline Problem of Freedom. Arendt follows Jonas’s interpretation of st Paul’s Epistle to the Romans, ch. 7, but her judgment on st Augustine’s relationship with Paul is quite different. According to Jonas, during the Pelagian controversy Augustine lost the Pauline concept of the antinomical nature of the will; in Arendt’s opinion, on the contrary, Augustine was the first one who stated Paul’s “discovery” of the will in philosophical terms, and in the City of God he realized the principle of “natality”, which is the real solution to the problem of freedom both in anthropology and politics. |
