| Sumario: | The subject of this paper is contrasts and disparities between the conception of individual and internal freedom in Saint Augustine, on the one hand and, secondly, the notion of collective and material freedom in the Qom cosmovision. In the second case, according to the statements by the indigenous man Timoteo Francia. This approach is based on the scarce exploration of this concept in indigenous knowledge and the motivation for an intertwining of concepts based on the inter-epocal dialogue with the medieval philosopher Saint Augustine. It will be shown that both thinkers aim for an idea of freedom and its components in a dissimilar way. The first of them seeks to discover the source of Evil, since there is a deity in the world that expresses the supreme Good. The second one, on the other hand, attempts to challenge a concept given from a western perspective. Thus, from the standpoint of philosophical anthropology and based on anthropological studies, we will analyze some issues linked to the concept in discussion. With respect to the Augustinian perspective, we will introduce the notion of God, Individual, Will and Freewill. For Timoteo Francia's approach, we will introduce the notions of the social body, non-human beings and material freedom. In general guidelines, we attempt to understand how each aspect of the concept of freedom is conceived from an intercultural point of view. |
