Abstract

This paper delves into how Augustine of Hippo’s ideas were received and interpreted in phenomenology throughout the 20th century. The author categorizes this reception into several themes and approaches and their corresponding authors. Initially, the focus is on the “phenomenological origins” (Husserl, Heidegger, and Arendt), highlighting Augustine’s interpretation in a German context. Following that, the author analyzes what he phrases as the “hermeneutical turn” (Gadamer and Ricoeur) within the framework of Augustine’s French readings. Lastly, he examines what he defines as “phenomenological descriptions” (Marion and Chrétien).
