In the fi rst part of the paper, the author copes with the problem of Plato’s infl uence on the Hans-Georg Gadamer’s project of philosophical hermeneutics. It appears that Plato was both an obstacle and an inspiration for the German philosopher. Th e former is to be observed in his interpretation of Plato’s Cratylus. Gadamer takes pains to avoid its conclusion that one can study the reality without the mediation of language. But, on the other hand, Plato’s Cratylus seems to contradict his own practice of thinking through language – says Gadamer. Clearly, one may discern it easily in his choice of dialogue as a means to express his ideas, and in emphasizing the priority of questions while struggling to overcome the sophistic answering culture. Th is practice was an endless and obvious inspiration for Gadamer’s hermeneutics. In the second section, the author shares his conviction that Gadamer rightly approached the problems of the modern culture by translating the achievements of Plato’s dialogic practice into our reality. Th e dialogue is seen as paradigmatic for every human experience, because it is exemplary for any act of understanding. Gadamer shows how to fi nd a way through the current skepticism and pluralism. Th e truth, though it may be elusive, is yet to be pursued dia logon. We cannot forget about the need to ask questions because only thus we can stay open to understanding. Our task is to continue the dialogue with tradition and we ought not to limit ourselves to the narrow scientifi c rationality or else we will cease to understand others, even in ourselves.

This paper aims at presenting the pecularities of the image of Pelagius as a heretic in the anti-Pelagian works of Augustine, Jerome, Paul Orosius and Marius Mercator. The circumstances of every analyzed writing are taken under consideration, for the date of composition and the size of a given polemics matter and influence the rhetorical strategies of the writers. The analysis is based on two categories, namely the similiarities and the differences between the portrayal of Pelagius. The contents of these works are interpreted from the perspective of their rhetorical form and literary techniques inherent in them and not from the perspective of a historian of theology. The analysis enables to conclude that Augustine’s portrayal is the most coherent, persuasive an detailed of all the considered heretical images. It is also the most elegant, e.g. Augustine – contrary to all other three writers – refrains from deriding the physical features of Pelagius or his origins. The Augustine’s Pelagius is presented as the most dangerous new heretic and the arguments a persona are best fitted with the theological layer of polemics. One must, however, bear in mind that Augustine’s works against Pelagius are far more numerous and longer than any other writer’s.

This paper takes under a detailed scrutiny some passages from the Letters 132, 135 and 137 among the Corpus of Augustine’s correspondence. The author casts some light on the cultural contexts of the Augustinian letters as it is presented in the contemporary research. In the outcome, a new reading of the correspondence with Volusianus is offered. The main thesis argumented for in this study is that what we encounter in these letters is a public philosophical dispute, in which both sides tried to discredit the counterparts as lacking in terms of ethical and strictly professional i.e. philosophical competences. The stake is the spiritual and intellectual authority of Augustine and the validity of Christian philosophy, especially of the Christian concept of divinity and its presence.
