The present work, entitled “The intersection between theology and philosophy in the Augustinian conception of evil”, aims to expose the conception of evil in St. Augustine by evidencing the overlapping of theological, religious and philosophical discussions contemporary to Augustine and that involved the elaboration of his conception. The objective is, therefore, to analyze the origin of evil according to Manicheism by using the descriptions of this doctrine from the Augustinian texts and how the ideas of this sect are linked to cosmology, theology and anthropology. It still emphasizes some of its central doctrines. Then, it approaches Augustine's adhesion and abandonment to Manichaeism, the consequences of this abandonment and the reasons for his connection to Christianity, and analyzes how this new faith changed his concept of evil in relation to God, man and the world. Furthermore, it is intended to show, beyond the biographical perspective of the Confessions, based on the Augustine´s book Free Will, and the changes made in his conception of evil. Finally, it investigates the intersection between theology and philosophy of these issues, and exposes the author's thinking, in order to contribute to this important theme based on the assumption that not only a specific knowledge contributes to the construction of the Augustinian conception of evil, but also knowledges that interact among themselves.
