Não sei se é porque já estou velho para ler este livro, mas eu esperava mais dele. O autor diz que veio da necessidade de comentar ou completar livros como "A Vida Intelectual" do Sertillanges ou "A Educação da Vontade" de Jules Payot, mas tirando alguns fragmentos que dão certo alento a alguém que talvez esteja frustrado como eu, a verdade é que no fundo ele não acrescenta grandes coisas. Ainda os últimos três capítulos, que julguei mais inspirados fizeram o livro merecer mais uma estrela, pois, no começo ele não conseguiu me envolver.… (more)

"Atyám, ... az örök élet az, hogy megismerjenek téged, az egyedül igaz Istent, és akit küldtél, Jézus Krisztust" (Jn 17,3). "Isten, a mi Üdvözítőnk ... azt akarja, hogy minden ember üdvözüljön és eljusson az igazság ismeretére" (1Tim 2,3--4). "Nem adatott más név az ég alatt az embereknek, amelyben üdvözülhetnének" (ApCsel 4,12), csak Jézus Neve.

Written in the 1950s, this beautifully written and very short work argues that Augustine continues to serve a model of a thinker and writer who strove to connect the interior/personal and exterior/historical worlds of men and women. Guitton comes down hard on the Catholic mystics, but that's ok. He says that after Shakespeare we are now awaiting another master of language and historical thought to replicate anew the achievements of Augustine in our own time. A very important philosophical work which I was ready to read at this point in my life. Guitton has interesting opinions on Marxism, Freudianism and Existentialism which he categorizes as forms of thought linked to a world absent of spiritual depth. Available on public domain, so if you have an ebook this is probably free. Written from within the Roman Catholic tradition but before Vatican II.… (more)
