La mística y sus indicaciones formales para el pensar. San Agustín en el II Heidegger

The influence of Saint Augustine in the existential analysis of Being and Time is highly re-cognized and is always a source of fruitful research. Our work, however, will try to discover the elongated shadow of the bishop of Hippo in the definition of the task of thinking, and therefore in II Heidegger, from what we will call the salvation of the vital-existential mo-ment of the experience of the encounter with the absolute. It is investigated here, then, the possibility that the fundamental notes on which, in our opinion, the mystical experience that is inferred in the Confessions (the distance of man from things, the relativization of worldly affairs and the self-forgetfulness) can count as formal indicators of what is the heideggerian notion of meditative thinking
