«Sobre la mentira» is Saint Augustine's essay on moral philosophy, published by Guillermo Escolar Editor in paperback (112 pages, in Spanish).
Saint Augustine examines lying and attempts to justify it for benevolent ends: he considers it corrupting and doomed to spiritual death, save for rare exceptions. He proposes loyalty to truth as the only path to the soul's salvation and links error about truth with the loss of the soul's superiority over the body.
Part of the «Los secretos de Diotima» collection; translation from Latin by Iván López Martín. First edition published in 2022.
Aimed at readers interested in moral philosophy, ethics, history of Christian thought, and the debate on truth.
Augustine of Hippo was a Christian theologian and philosopher from Thagaste, Numidia Cirtensis and the Bishop of Hippo Regius. He is generally regarded as one of the most influential philosophers in the history of the Western world, and he is viewed as one of the most important Church Fathers of the Latin Church in the Patristic Period.
