Abstract

The Personalism is one of the most influential currents in the modern philosophy and theology. It is rooted in the 17th century when new paradigms of the European philosophy emerged. This century is also called "the century of Augustine". St Augustine was the first western thinker who started to use the term "person" and to prefer it in the triadological and christologal usage. St Augustine has never defined the term "person" and that is why here we trying to elaborate his understanding of this concept (according to "De Trinitate" and "Enar-rationes in Psalmos"). This research gives us a possibility to grasp the distance between Augustinian and modern conceptualization of the "person", particularly by the example of the Russian early personalist theologian V.I. Nesmelov (1863–1937) and to reveal the critical moment in the history of this concept rooted in the Augustine's century mental processes.
