Abstract

In this issue we acquaint the readers with the Russian translation of one of the letters of Aurelius Augustine of Hippo. The time of Blessed Augustine's life (354 — 430) fell on a period of cardinal change of the political and spiritual make-up of the world. Not only the system of moral values and of reference standards of the ancient world, but also a considerable part of political experience it had accumulated, were becoming things of the past. Turning to Aurelius Augustine's epistolary heritage presents a unique chance to retrace the process of formation of the historiosophical and political conception which later found embodiment in his famous "duae civitatum "theory and for almost a thousand years became a dominant in the political thinking of West European Middle Ages.
