Abstracts

In this article the author makes an attempt at presenting St. Augustine’s ethical thoughts. Because St. Augustine did not write exclusively ethical works and in the same works he wrote about ethics and metaphysics, philosophy and theology, these considerations are based on several different writings of his. However, one of them, Contra Academicos, is used as some kind of a milestone. In this article the author presents St. Augustine’s thoughts about happiness, truth and virtues. But most importantly she recognizes St. Augustine’s definition of virtue in connection with love.
