Firstly, the main aspects of the Schelerian ordo amoris are examined. This order is revealed in emotional acts and is conceived as the essence of a world order, which is also God´s order. As God’s thoughts are the paradigms of creation, it follows that things are apprehended in lumine Dei insofar as they are envisaged according to their true being. This entails that man is the co-executor of divine action by means of a reenactment (Nachvollzug). Man is a God searcher, and this theomorphism shows that the human finite spirit is independent from all vital and psychical realities. Hence, religious acts are characterized, following St. Augustine, by the formula according to which our heart remains restless until it is founded on God. This drive cannot be satisfied by finite objects. Finally, attention is shed on Scheler´s appropriation of St Augustine’s emphasis on the role of love as the basis for acts of knowledge and will. Este ensayo se ocupa de la preservación de tesis formuladas por San Agustin en la fenomenología de Scheler. En primer lugar, se examinan aspectos principales del ordo amoris scheleriano. Este orden se revela en actos emocionales y se concibe como la esencia de un orden del mundo, que es también el orden de Dios. Puesto que los pensamientos de Dios son los paradigmas de la creación, se sigue que las cosas son aprehendidas in lumine Dei en tanto se las contempla en su verdadero ser. Esto implica que el hombre es el co-ejecutor de la acción divina por medio de una efectuación segunda (Nachvollzug). El hombre es un buscador de Dios según un teomorfismo que independiza al espíritu humano finito de todas las realidades vitales y psíquicas. Por tanto, los actos religiosos son caracterizados según la fórmula agustiniana según la cual nuestro corazón permanece inquieto mientras no descansa en Dios. Este impulso no puede ser satisfecho por objetos finitos. Finalmente, se presta atención a la apropiación scheleriana del énfasis de San Agustín en el papel del amor como base de los actos de conocimiento y voluntad. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/14124 10.34096/petm.v45.n1.14124 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/14124/13134 Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol. 45 Núm. 1 (2024); 15-29 2683-9636 Amor Buscador de Dios Teomorfismo Sacralidad Conocimiento Love God searcher Theomorphism Holiness Knowledge St. Augustine’s Ideas in Max Scheler’s Thought Ideas de san Agustín en el pensamiento Max Scheler info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artítulo evaluado por pares https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=patris&d=14124_oai
