MEANIING OF THE CONCEPT “CONCORDIA” IN ST. AUGUSTINE’S DOCTRINE

We study the meaning of the term Concordia in the doctrine of St. Augustine. The public life as the thinker treats is a certain level of concordia between the Creator and creation, between the Ancient and New Testaments, which however was broken by Adam’s Sin. This space demerit should be be overcome through individual and collective affairs that will present the castle of the earth to the highest level of Concordia ? absolute unanimity and love of creation to the Creator. This can happen through humble submission to God’s laws, which consistently return harmony to the inner and outer worlds of man, confirm the universal norms of interaction, humanistic and tolerant principles of mutual civic life. While St. Augustine faithfully repeated the view that the state of understanding starts to be approved at the level of the individual ? on his personal reflection and moral requirements to oneself. The training of the mind and the practice of virtue in obtaining concordia has its own social levels, the beginning of which is the understanding of the language and approval of love and unanimity in the family circle. Thus, a key content of concordia, in St.Augustine’s understanding, is the state of love proportionality between the ideal and desired with the actual, finding out the sacred meanings and ways to collective salvation and perfection of the soul in the eart through the faithful adherence to the absolute.
