| Summary: | The article analyzes the phenomenological interpretation of St. Augustine’s Confessions X by Heidegger. It argues that Augustine is a phenomenologist avant la lettre when he proposes “practicing truth in the heart” as a criterion of self-knowledge. This is more than a counsel, is a criterion of truth and for the truth, that comes back again and again throughout the book X. Heidegger, however, underestimates the Augustinian thought for too Greek. The two axes of their reading are: a) the Augustinian resistance to reduce the vital experience to a system of concepts; b) the exhibition of the factual life as insecurity, restlessness, existential opening to God. |
