Wolność w refleksji św. Augustyna

Journal Title: Poznańskie Studia Teologiczne - Year 2015, Vol 29, Issue

Abstract

Augustine rejected the Manichean claim that freedom was something illusory. It was precisely in debates with the Manicheans that he forged his doctrine of evil as a lack of good where it ought to exist. Freedom, necessarily directed toward good and justice, is the opposite of coercion, but concurrently cannot be reconciled with evil and sin, whereas our real freedom is never in discord with the absolute transcendence of God.
