Abstract

The meditation proposed by Augustine in the dialogue De Magistro points to the limitations of language. Starting from this observation, Augustine then assimilates the role of language, realising that the external verbs alone cannot reach what men need most: the Truth. However, this fault does not prevent them from searching the Truth, but works as an exercise to perceive that all truth comes from the inner verb that points out to Christ, the embodied divine Truth himself, the Verb of God
