项目摘要

In his dialogue 'De magistro', Augustine states a famous thesis : we get knowledge not from any human teacher, but from consulting the truth inhabiting in our inner man. Augustine's concept of this inner truth, however, seems to change in the course of the dialogue. When Augustine first introduces the idea of inner truth, he compares it to light and says "Concerning color and other things we consult light, the elements of this world, those bodies which we sense, and the senses themselves (12,39)". What he means here is that when we get sense perception, we are also aware whether this perception is true or false, that is whether it is of real things (res) or of false images. In this sense, the truth is somethiing by which we are convinced that our knowledge is true. Augustine says, "pupils, looking to that inner truth, consider within themselves whether teachers say true or not. (14,45)" Here the truth is something by which we can judge whether what has been said is true or false. This transition can be explained as follows. Augustine from the beginning does not regard the certainty of knowledge as wholly objective. "We consult", he says, "the truth according to the capacity of each one." He is well aware of the limit of our capacity It was this awareness that prompted Augustine to change his notion of the truth.

在他的对话“De magistro”中，奥古斯丁陈述了一个著名的论点：我们不是从任何人类老师那里获得知识，而是从我们内心深处的真理中获得知识。然而，奥古斯丁对这种内在真理的概念似乎在对话的过程中发生了变化。当奥古斯丁第一次引入内在真理的概念时，他把它比作光，并说：“关于颜色和其他事物，我们咨询光，这个世界的元素，那些我们感觉到的物体，以及感觉本身（12,39）。”他在这里的意思是，当我们获得感官知觉时，我们也意识到这种知觉是真还是假，也就是说，它是真实的事物还是虚假的图像。从这个意义上说，真理就是使我们确信我们的知识是真实的东西。奥古斯丁说，“学生们，寻求内心的真理，思考他们自己，老师说的是对还是错。（14,45）“在这里，真理是一种东西，通过它我们可以判断所说的是真的还是假的。这种转变可以解释如下。奥古斯丁从一开始就不认为知识的确定性是完全客观的。他说：“我们根据每个人的能力来协商真相。”他很清楚我们的能力是有限的，正是这种意识促使奥古斯丁改变了他对真理的看法。
