The City of God [Dt. Part 1" is an outstanding work of early Christian philosophy written by the great theologian and thinker Aurelius Augustine. This work, created in the 5th century, became not only an important contribution to Christian theology, but also a fundamental text for understanding the interaction between earthly and celestial reality. In the first part of the book, Augustine touches on many topics that remain relevant to this day, which makes her reading especially valuable for the modern reader. The plot of the book unfolds against the background of historical events, such as the fall of Rome, which causes Augustine to think deeply about the nature of human society and its fate. He contrasts two “cities”: the City of God, which is a community of believers striving for divine truth, and the City of the Earth, which personifies the world immersed in sin and passions. This confrontation becomes the basis for philosophical reflections on justice, power, morality and the ultimate goal of human life. The book will be of interest to a wide range of readers: from students of theology and philosophy to anyone interested in the history of Christianity and its impact on culture and public institutions. Augustine addresses those who seek answers to eternal questions about the meaning of life, the nature of good and evil, and how to believe and live in a world full of contradictions. Readers interested in such works as Dante's Divine Comedy or Plato's State will find many parallels and deep ideas in On the City of God. The topics raised in the book range from philosophical to practical. Augustine explores the concept of historical time and divine providence, raises questions about free will and predestination, and how Christian faith can help a person cope with the difficulties of life. His reflections on the nature of evil and suffering, on how they relate to divine justice, evoke deep reflections and can become the basis for personal searches of the reader. Augustine's style is distinguished by clarity and depth. He masterfully uses rhetorical techniques to convey his ideas to the reader, making the text not only philosophical, but also poetic. Its ability to connect personal experiences with theoretical concepts creates a unique atmosphere in which the reader can not only understand, but also feel every thought. Augustine is also known for his other works, such as Confession and On the Trinity, which are also noteworthy and can complement his understanding of philosophy. The City of God.
