Saint Augustine and the Problem of Christian Philosophy. Part 1
Saint Augustine and the Problem of Christian Philosophy. Part 1

Summary/Abstract: The starting point of my considerations in this article is the debate among historians of philosophy about the existence of such a thing as Christian philosophy. Within this debate, the question of the very legitimacy of the use of such a term in historical-philosophical discourse has arisen. The purpose of my article is to show how the use of the term Christian philosophy can be justified by using the example of the thought of Saint Augustine of Hippo, who, in many respects, can be considered the historical model of the Christian philosopher. Christianity is not a censoring factor for him but facilitates his reflections by showing a way out of intellectual problems of pagan culture.
