Research title
THE ILLUMINATION OF THE INNER MASTER: AN ANALYSIS OF THE IMAGES OF THE INNER MASTER AND THE ILLUMINATION BASED ON THE WORK DE MAGISTRO
Research abstract
This research will aim to investigate the first steps of Augustine's theory of illumination, based on the answer to the problem of soul communication in De Magistro. I will seek to demonstrate that the illumination theory, although epistemological, emerges in a dialogue in which the surface theme is the signs. Furthermore, the research will seek to demonstrate how the image of illumination, which will be so explored in works subsequent to De Magistro, dialogues with the image of the teaching of the inner Master.
