Abstract

La notion de prochain chez Augustin a été peu étudiée par la critique, bien qu’elle joue un rôle important dans sa pensée. Le présent article tente d’étudier la manière et les motivations qui ont amené Augustin à évoluer sur le sujet, par un examen d’abord de sa première formulation du concept dans le , puis de son interprétation ultérieure de la parabole du bon Samaritain. Il appert ainsi que sa définition du prochain a connu une profonde évolution, d’une formulation influencée par le concept païen de , à une formulation christologique où se lit l’influence de l’exégèse d’Ambroise et surtout d’Origène.

Abstract

Augustinian notion of neighbour has not been often studied, although it is very important to understand his thought. In this article, we will try to study how and why Augustine’s point of view has changed about it. We will first examine how he deals with this notion for the first time in the ; then, how he interprets the parable of the Good Samaritan in later works. Thus, we will show that his way of defining the notion of neighbour evolved a lot, because it is first infl uenced by the pagan notion of and, then, it became a christologic concept thanks to the infl uence of Ambrose’s and, mainly, Origene’s interpretations of the Bible.
