Abstract

Writing about Augustine’s ethics means, firtly to discuss somenthing that hasn’t been covered by Saint Augustine but rather by his researchers. To understand how the concept of justice works and is determined by the Augustinian ethics, it’s necessary first a brief exposure on how Saint Augustine inherited from Platonism, according to the ancient greek philosophical thinking, the idea that man is constantly in search of happiness.
