La memoria nel Libro X delle Confessioni di Agostino

This contribution, in its first part, consists of a commentary on the places in Book X of Augustine's Confessions dedicated to the theme of memory. In Augustine, memory is a figure that is articulated in different dimensions and levels. Memory as a psychic faculty can be distinguished in its sensory, imaginative, affective, and intellectual levels. But memory as a psychic faculty is an expression of a broader capacity of the human animus, which is the intuition of the infinite. And this is the further and all-encompassing dimension of memory, which makes it the place of confrontation - theoretical and existential - with God. In the second part, the contribution reconstructs the different senses of the word "infinite" in Augustine, and the connection between them.
