Allí, afirma haber tenido una experiencia sobrecogedora descrita como un estremecimiento de horror y de amor. El objetivo principal de nuestro texto es clarificar el sentido de estas expresiones. A fin de comprender ambos pasajes, describimos brevemente las circunstancias y eventos conducentes a tal momento. Nos interesa remarcar que al centro de estos eventos está una experiencia ontológica. Al mismo tiempo deseamos mostrar cómo todo esto revela un estado anímico peculiar que debe ser tomado en cuenta cuando se habla del camino recorrido por Agustín hasta llegar al Ser y a la Verdad.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract This paper recalls two passages of book seven from St. Augustine&#8217;s Confessions (Confes. 7, 10, 16 and 7, 17, 23). There, he states having an overcoming experience described as a shock of terror and love. The main scope of our text is to clarify the sense of these expressions. In order to understand both passages we describe briefly the circumstances and events that led to such moment. We put forward that at the core of these events we find an ontological experience. At the same time we try to show how all this reveals a special state of the soul which must be considered when describing Augustine&#8217;s ascent to the Being and the Truth.]]></p></abstract>
