Lux corporea, lux incorporea: el ojo de la carne y el ojo del alma en Agustín de Hipona / Lux corporea, lux incorporea: The Eye of the Body and the Eye of the Soul in St Augustine of Hippo
Main Article Content
Abstract
La metáfora de la luz como fuente divina de verdad y excelencia es una constante en Agustín. En este artículo nos proponemos analizar la contraposición entre dos luces y dos ojos: la luz corpórea y la luz incorpórea, las cuales se corresponden con el ojo del cuerpo y el ojo del alma respectivamente. Propondremos también una lectura política de esta tensión lumínica y óptica.
Light as divine source of truth and excellence is a pervasive metaphor in St. Augustine. This paper examines the distinction between two lights and two eyes: corporeal and incorporeal light, which correspond to the bodily eye and the eye of the soul, respectively. The paper also puts forward a political reading of this light-optic tension.
