몰리노스의 정적주의 사상은 성 아우구스티누스의 고백록 의 핵심메시지를 근거로 하고 있다. 아우구스티누스는 자신의 삶과 회심 이야기를 들려주면서 정 적주의 테마를 설명하는데, 자신의 삶속에서 겪은 여러 사건들을 성찰한 후 그 리스도교인의 삶에 관하여, 특히 내적인 삶과 기도에 관한 명상을 했다. 고백 록 은 여러 세기에 걸쳐 많은 영향을 미쳤으며 특히 몰리노스는 아우구스티누 스 영성의 직속 후계자로서 그의 영적안내 에는 아우구스티누스의 반향을 짙 게 찾아볼 수 있다. 이런 의미에서 신안에서 쉬도록 되어있는 아우구스티누스의 교리가 어떻게 몰리노스의 내적인 삶 가운데 작용하는지 살펴볼 것이다. 몰리노 스에 의하면 신이 우리 안에서 행하는 일은 그 분께 해야만 할 일을 우리에게 보여주는 일로서 신과의 통교는 자기 부정과 신안에서의 휴식의 중요한 측면이 다. 명상에서 가장 중요한 행위는 신의 음성을 들을 수 있는 것이며, 또 신이 전 하는 뜻을 듣고 들으려 한다는 것이다. 아우구스티누스와 그의 후계자 몰리노스 가 제안하는 신앙여정의 결론은 신에 대한 신뢰, 자아포기, 명상이며, 그럼으로 써 크리스천이 아우구스티누스가 약속한 성령 안에서 휴식과 쉼을 얻도록 그들 을 초대하고 있다.
A historic urban landscape has to be preserved wholly, not only as a cultural heritage site, but also as an environment and a neighborhood. However, cultural heritage sites have their own unique social-commercial environments, and these are not easy to integrate during the preservation process even though they are located in the same area. To examine ways of overcoming the difficulty in integrating the preservation of heritages, this study analyzes the historic urban landscape preservation of St. Augustine, Florida in the United States. The preservation of St. Augustine's historic urban landscape can be identified by its unique system of government-academy cooperation. For integrated preservation of the historic landscape of St. Augustine, Florida's state government owns the properties, which are not designated but have a heritage value, and are located next to the nationally designated heritage sites. The properties receive trust administration by the University of Florida. This cooperation between the government and the university can benefit both stakeholders. To the government, the relationship gives the benefit for professional, long-term management for the properties and their environments. To the university, the cooperation provides a place for practical education, funding, and opportunities for research and management. The government-academy cooperation model argued for this study can be applied to many Korean historic cities' urban landscape preservation planning.
The paper analyzes the concept of love in St. Augustine’s De Confessione, in which Augustine makes use of an analogy of human love in to describe the ineffable nature of the divine love. Augustine presents a theological reflection on the phenomena of human love: sin and concupiscence. Augustine demonstrates how he could overcome such spiritual desperation and sinful desire. Augustine could not solve the problem of sexual passion by way of Ciceronian philosophy, Manichaean dualism or Platonic philosophy until his heart surrendered to a full determination (at the garden of Milan). Although Augustine expresses remorse about the depravity of his erotic love, he utilizes the language of sexual love to express the divine love.
Augustine confesses that concupiscence is the prevailing aspect of the misdirected love. Augustine could not escape from the tyranny of concupis-cence. and experienced a self-disintegration because of addiction and despair. Augustine reached the true face of evil. Augustine claims that evil is not merely evil acts but the very will to violate God’s goodness. Evil begot habit; habit produced necessity. Augustine could not free himself from the necessity: the compulsion of two opposing wills. The sick heart must be healed before enjoying the divine love. All modes of love should surrender before the divine love, because the latter is the creator of the former.
The divine love is beautiful. It is the source of satisfaction. Augustine’s rhetoric depicts the beauty of the divine love with the images of fire, flower, and other created things. The divine love is the healer of a human soul which is sickened by desiring the created things such as money, sex, and power. Augustine’s soul found rest in the bosom of the divine love.
