Abstract
The article deals with the sources that have inspired Saint Augustine’s Anthropological model in Book I of the Confessions. It demonstrares that the sources are not those of Neo-platonic Philosophy, but those of the Old Academy, as expressed by the particular version of Antiochus of Ascalon, mixed with some elements of the Peripatetic and the Stoic school, which have been transmitted to the Latin Culture through Cicero and Varro. The article demonstrares this, analyzing some passages of Book I of the Confessions.
