There, Augustine prescriptively describes the wisdom of the liberal arts as modest and succinct. On the other hand, in Retractationes, the author outlines his project to rethink the liberal disciplines, dedicating a work to each of them. This unfinished enterprise gave rise to a work on grammar, lost in Augustine's time, and another on music. In De musica, Augustine describes the operation of sensitivity and its articulation with rationality that culminates in the recognition of God in the soul. We will try to show how the psychological dimension of the functioning of sensitivity allows us to return to the concept of discipline and understand the liberal disciplines through the development of one of them in particular, taking as its axis the approach to the divine through rational means. La concepción de disciplina y la reflexión sobre las disciplinas liberales en la filosofía temprana de Agustín se encuentran mayormente en su obra De ordine. Allí, el Hiponense describe la sabiduría de las artes liberales como modesta y sucinta, de modo más prescriptivo que descriptivo. Por otra parte, en Retractationes, el autor reseña su proyecto de volver a pensar las disciplinas liberales dedicando una obra a cada una de ellas. Esta empresa inconclusa dio lugar a una obra sobre la gramática, perdida en tiempos de Agustín, y otra sobre la música. En De musica, Agustín describe el funcionamiento de la sensibilidad y su articulación con la racionalidad que culmina en el reconocimiento de Dios en el alma. Intentaremos mostrar cómo la dimensión psicológica del funcionamiento de la sensibilidad permite volver sobre el concepto de disciplina y comprender las disciplinas liberales mediante el desarrollo de una de ellas en particular tomando como eje el acercamiento a lo divino por la vía racional.
