Perspectiva e método para uma leitura analítica de Agostinho (“Confissões” e “Do Mestre”) a partir de Wittgenstein e de Frege

Abstract

This research aims to be apresent verification, in two of Augustine’s works, Confessions and De Magistro (On the teacher), of three formal conceptualizations from contemporary analytic philosophy; starting with the specific conceptual nomenclature of second Wittgenstein (Language-games) and the articulation of two concepts in Frege (sense and reference), we shall be able to detect and analyse an intrinsic similarity with respect to knowledge and language study, concerning its formation, usage and application through living experiences, including religious ones. Language as a form of life, as language of life, including religious life, establishes and affirms itself as an intersection, in this dissertation, between the critical articulation of those three conceptualizations in specific works by those three authors under study.
