Abstract

The purpose of this study is defined by understanding the relationship between divine law and human law conceived by Augustine in On Free Choice of the Will, book I, and The City of God, book XIX. Thus, we aim first to analyse the relation among the two laws in the dialogue, then comparing it with the analysis from The City of God by checking possible implications of a reformulation in the understanding of politics for Augustine. As such, we intend to show how Augustine reformulated his thought about the two laws and the consequences of such a change in notions as justice, peace, State, war and slavery (AU)
