La memoria en el libro décimo de Las Confesiones de San Agustín, en perspectiva fenomenológica

Abstract

The central objective of this document is to relate the memory process, using part of the material stored in it and pertinently exercising the mental processes and the commitment that Saint Augustine makes for happiness in his book of Confessions. The process that develops human thought, after receiving the information captured, thanks to the stimulations of the senses; the way in which said information is imprinted in memory and the subsequent events through which some data are totally or partially eliminated, while others are brought up again in the human mind to generate new memories or help in the development of various tasks. The methodology used for this study is the phenomenological perspective that Saint Augustine himself proposes and develops and that allows all subjects to be their own object of study to do science. In the case that occupies this monograph, it ratifies the theory that Saint Augustine presents in the tenth book of the Confessions about the way in which humans, by "phenomelizing" memory, can perceive the innate desire to be happy, and that it transcends a Being Superior to who most call God.
