Self knowledge and knowledge of God are tightly interwoven in Augustines Confessions. In Book X of this work, various narratives have a key role in the dialectical movement between self knowledge and knowledge of God, whose most important perspective is that of memory as giving form to the existential cogito. It is thus examined, in Augustine‟s narrative, the relationship between the interpretation of the Scriptures and the becoming of the self. One finds in this relationship aspects of the inner discourse and of an identity-narrative approach of the narrative theory. The coming-to-be of the self relies on an internal dialectical movement of the character, which balances self acknowledgement against self denial, thus presenting mans immanence as a personal feature and, simultaneously, mens desire for transcending what they value as their most intimate relationship to God. This thesis examines the tension created by the vision man has of self knowledge and the vision man has of God in his search for happiness.(AU)
