| Summary: | This article aims to focus on Hans Blumenberg's reflections on St. Augustine, starting from his first academic works (of 1947 and 1950), in which he had developed a thesis in open contrast with the later statement of incompatibility between Augustinianism and modern age (that will constitute the main argument in Die Legitimität der Neuzeit, 1966, 1974²). In fact, by adopting an Heideggerian phenomenological approach, but also by tracing back the categories of Heidegger's reflection to their Christian theological background, the young Blumenberg had suggested that the possibility and the origins of the modern deconstruction of metaphysic should be identified right in the Augustinian tradition. In the light of these early works, it is surprising to see how Blumenberg's later research proved to be progressively divergent from his former interpretation, since his first published works about the project of a metaphorology, in which he became gradually conscious of the theoretical need of rejecting the Augustinian anti-humanism, even in his revivals in Heidegger's philosophy. This way Blumenberg's analysis of Augustine let us reconsider the development of his entire thought, and interpret his mature philosophy as an "anti-Augustinian turn" and as an attempt to remove theological absolutism by defining it as incompatible with the scientific and mythopoietic spirit of modern age |
