But now let us see how this is connected with the problem we were going to discuss about the two laws. Quid? II (latino) Lewis Gomez. Quid ergo causae est cur dubitandum putemus, etiamsi numquam antea sapientes fuimus, voluntate nos tamen laudabilem et beatam vitam voluntate turpem ac miseram mereri ac degere? EVODIUS. hoc gaudio qui non fruuntur, paruo damno eos affectos putas tanti boni? AUGUSTINUS. EVODIUS. A. Cum ergo ista cupiditate a servo dominus interimitur, non illa culpabili cupiditate interimitur. AUGUSTINUS. Recte. When reason controls these motions of the soul, a man must be said to be in due order. We have declared and admitted that this is the work of fortitude. EVODIUS. EVODIUS. Do you think at least that understanding is a pure good? You judge rightly, provided you keep constantly in view what reason has very clearly shown, that those who serve the temporal law cannot escape the eternal law. Consequently, if no one is punished unjustly as we must necessarily believe, since we believe everything is ruled by God's providence God is certainly not the cause of the first kind of evil, but He is the cause of the second kind.

If you cannot cover the whole subject in a few short words, at least give some examples of wrongdoing, and tell me what you think. AUGUSTINUS.

EVODIUS. De Libero Arbitrio (Augustinus) E Wikisource, . Reflect, too, whether you do not yourself will that your life may be happy. AUGUSTINUS. Neque enim esset ordinatissimum, ut impotentiora potentioribus imperarent. Quisquis igitur quaerit auctorem, per quem aliquid discimus, auctorem profecto, per quem bene facimus quaerit. Quid igitur dicendum, cum homo ita est affectus? Nihil est omnino manifestius et iam video non opus esse longa sermocinatione, ut mihi de homicidio et sacrilegio ac prorsus de omnibus peccatis persuadeatur. Do you not think so? Then be careful not to say that evil is learnt. At si deum bonum esse nosti vel credis -- neque enim aliter fas est --, male non facit. A. Ita istuc dicis, quasi liquido compertum habcas numquam nos fuisse sapientes; attendis enim tempus ex quo in hanc vitam nati sumus. It follows from this that He created all out of nothing. Quid? Certe enim bonum cupit, qui cupit vitam metu liberam, et idcirco ista cupiditas culpanda non est, alioquin omnes culpabimus amatores boni. I rather think they may come under a stronger and entirely secret law, if everything is controlled by Divine Providence. E. Your question seems easy. EVODIUS. AUGUSTINUS. AUGUSTINUS. Quid, si nec bonum nec malum est? EVODIUS. A. Language: Latin. E. Really, I can hardly keep myself from crying out for joy, when a good so great and so easy to gain is suddenly set before me. It follows that he harms no one, and this can only be the case, if he gives to everyone his due. E. You have fully grasped and explained my own view provided that knowledge can never be evil. Do those who persist in their evil will, at the same time desire to be happy? Quam quisque cum habet bonam, id certe habet, quod terrenis omnibus regnis voluptatibusque omnibus corporis longe anteponendum sit. I could not possibly say that any understanding was evil. EVODIUS. Eos enim sapientes voco, quos veritas vocari iubet, id est, qui regno mentis omni libidinis subiugatione pacati sunt. If a man's passion was so strong that he offered his own wife to another, and freely allowed her to be seduced by him because he wished to have the same licence with this man's wife, do you think he would be doing no wrong? Est certe; non enim nullo auctore fieri posset. Necesse est omnino ut adversetur. A. A. Si ergo omnis intellegentia bona est nec quisquam, qui non intellegit, discit, omnis qui discit bene facit. Such men as these have a mind, for they do things which could not be done without a mind. A. E. Yes, our former conclusions lead to this, and we must agree. possuntne amare istam legem, qua talibus hominibus miseria merito rependitur? Or how does a man through his own will gain a happy life, if so many are unhappy, and all wish to be happy? But let us continue. Scisne etiam istam libidinem alio nomine cupiditatem vocari? A. I should like you to tell me by what evidence you are aware that a man has a mind which does not exercise its control. AUGUSTINUS. Quare illud restat ut respondeas, si potest, utrum tibi videatur rationali et sapienti mente quicquam esse praestantius. EVODIUS. Una introduzione Roma-Bari, Laterza, 2004 (2009³) letture. The law also orders a soldier to kill the enemy, and if he refuses to do so he is punished by the military authorities. A. A. I see now that there is no need of a long argument to convince me that this is true of murder and sacrilege, and indeed of all sins. EVODIUS. AUGUSTINUS. E. I see that this law is eternal and unchangeable. AUGUSTINUS. Augustine: I will tell you, if you explain what kind of evil you mean. Vide ergo ne non discantur mala; nam disciplina nisi a discendo non dicta est. AUGUSTINUS. AUGUSTINUS. Multo est enim mitius eum, qui alienae vitae insidiatur quam eum, qui suam tuetur, occidi, et multo est immanius inuitum hominem stuprum perpeti quam eum, a quo illa vis infertur, ab eo cui inferre conatur, interimi. A. Neque enim quia non omnia facit, ideo quae facit improbanda sunt. 30. Deutsch. I confess I had thought that this problem, which I find we have solved, might hold us back for as long again as we have already taken over the discussion. AUGUSTINUS. A.

Hanc igitur voluntatem si bona itidem voluntate diligamus atque amplectamur rebusque omnibus, quas retinere non quia volumus possumus, anteponamus, consequenter illae virtutes, ut ratio docuit, animum nostrum incolent, quas habere id ipsum est recte honesteque vivere. Quid? following treatises,—the former entitled De Gratiâ et Libero Arbitrio, and the latter De to the brethren that are with you, Augustin sends greeting in the Lord. AUGUSTINUS. illa lex quae summa ratio nominatur cui sem per obtemperandum est et per quam mali miseram, boni beatam vitam merentur, per quam denique illa, quam temporalem vocandam diximus, recte fertur recteque mutatur, potestne cuipiam intellegenti non incommutabilis aeternaque videri? But do you think that anyone does not by every means desire and long for a happy life? Brand new Book. N° de réf. Quid? A. Beasts live, and, as has now been shown, 17 are without reason. I will prove that passion is the evil in adultery. A. Then do you. A MIND IS THE SLAVE OF PASSION THROUGH ITS OWN CHOICE. AUGUSTINUS. E.I have no doubt about it now; carry on with your plan. The things I mean are, first, the body and what are called its goods, such as sound health, keen senses, strength, beauty, and so on, some of which are necessary for the useful arts, and therefore of more value, others of which are of less value. Sed dic mihi prius, utrum qui recte vivere diligit eoque ita delectatur, ut non solum ei rectum sit, sed etiam dulce atque iucundum, amet hanc legem habeatque carissimam, qua videt tributam esse bonae voluntati beatam vitam, malae miseram? Hence it follows that whoever wishes to live rightly and virtuously, if he wishes so to wish in preference to the goods which are but passing, acquires this great possession with such ease, that to wish for it is the same as to possess what he wished. EVODIUS. Id nunc plane abs te dictum est quod me cogitantem satis excruci at et quod ad istam inquisitionem coegit et traxit. Optime omnino et cognovisti et explicasti sententiam meam, si tamen scientia mala esse numquam potest. EVODIUS. Or again the state itself, which is usually regarded as a parent; honours, too, and distinctions, and what is called popular favour. His quippe inest; agunt enim talia quae agi sine mente non possent; non tamen regnat; nam stulti sunt neque regnum mentis nisi sapientium esse percognitum est. inter hanc et metum nihilne interesse an aliquid putas? It is not in control, 22 for they are foolish, and, as we know, the mind is in control only in wise men. Sed illi homines lege inculpata quomodo inculpati queant esse non video; non enim eos lex cogit occidere, sed relinquit in potestate. Quare tu mihi, nisi fallor, non vitae aliud aliquid, sed cuidam vitae meliorem vitam praeposuisti. Si autem quaeris, quisnam iste sit, dici non potest; non enim unus aliquis est, sed quisque malus sui malefacti auctor est. What else then do you think the temporal law orders but that, when men cling with their desire to those things which can be called ours for a short time, they shall possess them by that same right by which peace is maintained in human society, so far as is possible in such affairs? We must, however, find some other opportunity of examining the question more carefully: now it is time to bring the present discussion to an end. If someone kills a man, not through desire of gain, but through fear of suffering some evil, will he still be a murderer? Nam ego, fateor tibi, quaestionem istam, quae, ut intellego, terminata est, tam diu nos retenturam putaveram, quam fortasse omnia, quae dicta sunt ab ipso nostrae disputationis exordio. AUGUSTINUS. Can we possibly call these laws unjust, or rather no laws at all? A. Then, if through our good will we love this good will itself, and cling to it, and prefer it before all things which we cannot be sure to keep because we want to, the result will be, as reason has shown, that these virtues will dwell in our soul. Augustine begins by quickly establishing the issue he wishes to explore: “We believe that everything which exists is created by one God, and yet that God is not the cause of sin. an forte intellegis superiorem quandam et sinceriorem vitam esse scientiam, quoniam scire nemo potest nisi qui intellegit? At laudabilem fugiendam profecto non putas. But if we are right in judging the one man happy whose will is good, shall we not be right in judging the other man unhappy whose will is bad? E. I think no one can see this without prudence.

And is not fortitude that state of the soul in which we despise all misfortunes and the loss of things not resting in our power? AUGUSTINUS. I want you to believe that we have, as it were, knocked at the door of great and hidden questions which we must search out. A. A .First tell me why you think adultery is wrong. following treatises,—the former entitled De Gratiâ et Libero Arbitrio, and the latter De to the brethren that are with you, Augustin sends greeting in the Lord. 13. Eo fortasse, quod se a disciplina, id est a discendo, avertit et abalienat. We often see beasts tamed by men, not only the beast's body but its spirit so quelled that it obeys a man's will instinctively and habitually. We have agreed that it lies in the will what each man chooses to seek and attach himself to, 33 and that the mind is not cast down from its position of. Itane est? Nullo modo istuc fieri posse consentio. 18 What else is understanding than a life brighter and more perfect through the very light of the mind? A. AUGUSTINUS. The desire to live without fear is common both to all good and to all evil men. But you yourself grant that it is. AUGUSTINUS. Magnam quidem istam poenam esse iudico et omnino iustam, si quis iam in sublimitate sapientiae conlocatus inde descendere ac libidini seruire delegerit. Only let us have a right spirit, so that Divine Providence may allow us to keep to the course we have marked out, and to reach the end. illud credisne, domitores beluarum nisi sapientes esse non posse? From The Logic Museum < Authors‎ | Augustine. I agree with you, and believe most firmly, and preach the belief to all peoples and nations that adultery is wrong. A. Does he not love this law, and hold it most dear to him? Sed cum quaereres, utrum disciplina bonum esset, ipsius boni amor intentionem meam rapuit, ut illam disciplinam intuerer, quae bene faciendi est, ex quo bonum esse respondi; nunc autem admoneor esse aliam, quam procul dubio malum esse confirmo et cuius auctorem requiro. Now consider whether prudence seems to you to consist in the knowledge what to seek and what to avoid. E. God forbid anything so stupid and wicked. A. Sed quoniam res ardua est neque nunc oportune quaeritur, ut ad intellegentiam veniat, quamquam robustissima teneatur fide, integra nobis sit huius quaestionis diligens et cauta tractatio. ipsi homines et populi eiusdemne generis rerum sunt, ut interire mutalive non possint aeternique omnino sint, an vero mutabiles temporibusque subiecti sunt? AUGUSTINUS. Nam ut intellegas libidinem in adulterio malum esse, si cui etiam non contingat facultas concumbendi cum coniuge aliena, planum tamen aliquo modo sit id eum cupere et, si potestas detur, esse facturum, non minus reus est quam si in ipso facto deprehenderetur. AUGUSTINUS. Num ista ipsa poena parua existimanda est, quod ei libido dominatur expoliatamque virtutis opulentia per diversa inopem atque indigentem trahit, nunc falsa pro veris approbantem, nunc etiam defensitantem, nunc improbantem quae antea probavisset et nihilominus in alia falsa inruentem, nunc adsensionem suspendentem suam et plerumque perspicuas ratiocinationes formidantem, nunc desperantem de tota inventione veritatis et stultitiae tenebris penitus inherentem, nunc conantem in lucem intellegendi rursusque fatigatione decidentem. That is my opinion too. Can it ever be unjust that the wicked should be unhappy and the good happy, or that a well-disciplined people should be self-governing, while an.

Bibliographie Et prius responde mihi, utrum lex quae litteris promulgatur hominibus hanc vitam viventibus opituletur. A. Because the law forbids it? A. AUGUSTINUS. No power, no circumstances, no calamity can ever make it unjust that everything should have its due and perfect order. A. Augustine’s De Libero Arbitrio, or On Free Will, is a dialogue with a historical friend named Evodius. AUGUSTINUS. The law which governs a people concerns itself with the control of conduct sufficiently to keep the peace among a rough population, so far as this can be achieved by man. This other kind of fault has different punishments which are suited to it, and I think wisdom alone can save us from them. Since he does not love these things, he does not grieve at their loss, but altogether despises them. So I think that that law which is issued for the government of a people rightly allows these acts, while Divine Providence punishes them. Sed utrum esse quisquam possit incertum est qui haec aut voluerit facere aut velit. EVODIUS. When reason, or mind, or spirit controls the irrational motions of the soul, then that element is ruling in man which ought to rule in virtue of that law which we have found to be eternal. Answer this question. E. I think there is a very great difference between them. A. Quid deinde censes temporalem iubere, nisi ut haec, quae ad tempus nostra dici possunt, quando eis homines cupiditate inherent, eo iure possideant quo pax et societas humana seruetur, quanta in his rebus servari potest? AUGUSTINUS. Longe ab eis istum differre video, nam illi vel ex legibus faciunt vel non contra leges, huius autem facinus nulla lex approbat. EVODIUS. Then the man who has a good will, the excellence of which we have discussed at such length, will love this alone, his most precious possession, will delight in this and make it his joy and pleasure, realising fully its value, and that he cannot be robbed of it against his will. A. Non invenio aliud, quandoquidem in animo est id quod belius antecellimus; quae si exanimes essent, dicerem nos eo praestare, quod animum habemus. EVODIUS. Download. Aut si non possunt, quid opus est pro his usque ad hominis necem progredi? If he is evil, he is not a teacher; if he is a teacher, he is not evil. A. I suppose you also know that very many men are foolish. O Livre-Arbítrio. Saltem intellegentiam non nisi bonum putas? Therefore it is not surprising that unhappy men do not get what they want, namely, a happy life. Now these punishments are evils to those who suffer them. AUGUSTINUS. AUGUSTINUS. A. A. recordaris te paulo ante dixisse in omni facto malo libidinem dominari et eo ipso malum esse? Ergo relinquitur ut, quoniam regnanti menti conpotique virtutis quidquid par aut praelatum est non eam facit servam libidinis propter iustitiam, quidquid autem inferius non possit hoc facere propter infirmitatem, sicut ea quae inter nos constiterunt docent, nulla res alia mentem cupiditatis comitem faciat quam propria voluntas et liberum arbitrium. AUGUSTINUS. Hence you can understand that the man who loves his good will resists his passions by every means, and fights against them. Sed cum sapientia in animo sit utrum ante consortium huius corporis alia quadam vita vixerit animus et an aliquando sapienter vixerit, magna quaestio est, magnum secretum et suo considerandum loco; neque ideo tamen hoc quod nunc habemus in manibus impeditur quominus aperiatur ut potest. Hoc autem ad iustitiam pertinere cum dicerem, approbasse te, ut puto, meministi. If he possesses and loves to possess a good will, and resists, as I have said, what is opposed to it, he cannot wish evil to anyone. Placet igitur beatum esse hominem dilectorem bonae voluntatis suae et prae illa contemnentem quodcumque aliud bonum dicitur, cuius amissio potest accidere, etiam cum voluntas tenendi manet. Nam lex mihi esse non videtur, quae iusta non fuerit. Averterit deus istam sceleratam dementiam. Et magnopere quidem iudico nihilque aliud agendum existimo. Iam vero de te tu ipse videris, utrum tibi voluntas nulla sit beatae vitae tuae. Erit quidem, sed non ideo factum hoc cupiditatis dominatu caret; nam qui metuens hominem occidit, cupit utique sine metu vivere. Iam vero de te tu ipse videris, utrum tibi voluntas nulla sit beatae vitae tuae. AUGUSTINUS. Vides ergo etiam illud, quod poena non esset, sive quae per iniuriam sive quae per talem vindictam infertur hominibus, si eas res quae inuito auferri possunt non amarent. EVODIUS. E. I know that no one, unless he is alive, knows that he is alive, but I do not know whether everyone who is alive knows that he is alive. A .We hold, then, that a man is happy who loves his own good will, and who despises in comparison with this whatever else is called good and can be lost, while the desire to keep it remains. Mala enim voluntate amantur, cui tamquam inimicae carissimo suo bono resistat necesse est. A nation is made up of men bound together by a single law, and this law, we have said, is temporal. If you know or believe God is good and it would be wrong to think otherwise He does not do evil. AUGUSTINUS. When someone is taught but does not understand, could you suppose he has learnt anything? I certainly do not think so. EVODIUS. E Unquestionably they belong to the class of things subject to time and change. An tu aliter putas? Pervellem abs te audire quibus documentis perceptum habeas mentem inesse homini, quae suum non exerat principatum. How I wish that you knew, instead of merely believing, that animals lack reason! This paper. AUGUSTINUS. Laudo et probo istam, quamvis inchoatam minusque perfectam, tamen fidentem et sublimia quaedam petentem distinctionem tuam. There would not be due order if the weaker governed the stronger. Non enim iuste vindicarentur, nisi fierent voluntate. A. A.-What then prevents us from admitting that the life of this man is praiseworthy? AUGUSTINUS. 10. AUGUSTINUS. READ PAPER. Evodius: should like you to tell me: is not God the cause of evil? E. He loves it with all his heart and strength since he lives as he does in obedience to this law. Meanwhile the passions rage like tyrants, and. E. That is what I think about justice. A. Then, if a people is well-disciplined and observant of social good, and such that every individual puts public before private interest, is not this people rightly granted by law authority to elect its own officials to govern its affairs, that is, the affairs of the state? AUGUSTINUS. Let us hold the conclu. But why should we not grant him fortitude? Now see whether you do not seek to live rightly and virtuously, or whether you do not have a strong desire to be wise, or can really venture to deny that we have a good will when we wish for these things. Cum ergo ita homo constitutus atque ordinatus est, nonne tibi sapiens videtur? A. I will do so; but tell me first whether you are conscious of having a good will. A. 24 Yet this does not prevent us from clearing up, so far as possible, our present problem. If evil is learnt, we learn what ought to be avoided, not what ought to be done. Download Free PDF. Ergo, si populus sit bene moderatus et gravis communisque utilitatis diligentissimus custos, in quo unusquisque minoris rem privatam quam publicam pendat nonne recte lex fertur, qua huic ipsi populo liceat creare sibi magistratus per quos sua res, id est publica, administretur? O Livre-Arbítrio. Immo plurima, ea scilicet in quibus adipiscendis vel retinendis mala voluntas illa persistit. The former act lawfully or not unlawfully; the latter are sanctioned by no law. Sequitur iam ut tibi videatur iuste illam pro peccato tanto poenas pendere. Augustine of Hippo (354-430), also known as Saint Augustine or Saint Austin, was an early Christian theologian whose writings were very influential in the development of Western Christianity and Western philosophy. E. It is quite true that not the things themselves are to be blamed, but the men who make a bad use of them. Tell me this. AUGUSTINUS. A. Then there is freedom, though indeed there is no true freedom except for those who are happy and cling to the eternal law; but here I mean that freedom by which men think they are free, when they do not have other men as their masters, and which is desired by those who wish to be released from any human masters. Quid etiam appetendam sedulo existimo. Non sane ideo malum est quia uetatur lege, sed ideo uetatur lege quia malum est. Age iam, quoniam satis cogis, ut fatear non nos discere male facere, dic mihi unde male faciamus. an forte ipsa est, quae ratio vel intellegentia dici solet? Nullane hunc putamus praeditum esse prudentia, qui hoc bonum appetendum et vitanda ea quae huic inmica videt? But now we are endeavouring to grasp firmly with the understanding what we have received on faith. 17. AUGUSTINUS. Nunc vero cum et illa sint animalia, id quod eorum animis non inest ut subdantur nobis, inest autem nostris ut eis meliores simus, quoniam neque nihil neque paruum aliquid esse cuivis apparet, quid aliud rectius quam rationem vocaverim? A. AUGUSTINUS. E. Then there is some other cause of that evil which God is not found to be responsible for? La pagina corrente utilizza i frame. AUGUSTINUS. A. I think you remember our definition of a good will: it was, I believe, a will by which we seek to live rightly and virtuously. AUGUSTINUS. And you do not think a praiseworthy life ought to be avoided? Authors/Augustine/De libero arbitrio. Then parents, brothers, wife, children, relations, connections, friends, and all who are joined to us by some bond. Then what must we say, when a man is in this state?
