Abstract(s)
O presente trabalho, a partir do Livro XIV do De civitate Dei de Santo Agostinho, procura
fazer uma reflexão sobre o binómio carne/espírito na experiência humana. Percorremos o
caminho que nos orienta para uma antropologia tipicamente agostiniana, a qual nos abeira da
condição humana como unidade integral, sem negar a tensão entre carne e espírito. Na base de
toda esta questão está a vida concreta do homem, principalmente na orientação das suas
decisões e ações, as quis determinarão a que cidadania pertence cada indivíduo: se à cidade
celeste, se à cidade terrena. Neste percurso, abordamos a incontornável questão do pecado
original e suas consequências para a realidade concreta de toda a criatura, apresentado o seu
paradoxo, como modelo de exemplaridade para a vida que Deus desejou para a humanidade,
representada na condescendência e humildade do Verbo incarnado. Toda esta reflexão apontanos,
portanto, para um maior conhecimento da fragilidade e tendência para o pecado por parte
da criatura, procurando superar a fraqueza humana com uma vida radicalmente comprometida
com Cristo, estabelecendo-se assim a vida como peregrinação num contexto de espiritualidade
incarnada.
This work, looking through the perspective of the Book XIV of the De civitate Dei of Saint Augustine, attempts to think about the binominal flesh/spirit in human experience. We follow a path that drives us to an augustinian anthropology, the same one that approaches us to the unity of the human condition, even though it does not deny the tension between flesh and spirit. On the basis of this whole question is man’s real life, mainly on his direction of his own decisions or actions, the ones that will determine which citizenship each individual will have: the one from the heavenly city, or the one of the earthly city. On this path, we address as well the issue of original sin and its consequences to the real life of humankind, presenting as its paradox, as a pattern of the life that God desired for men, the compliance and humility of the Word made flesh. Therefore, this reflection points us to a greater knowledge of humans’ fragility and tendency to sin, trying to overcome human weakness with a radically committed life with Christ, establishing it as a pilgrimage in a incarnate spirituality context.
