Abstract
This paper analyzes the theory of the right action proposed in De Imitatione Christi by its alleged author, Thomas of Kempis, through a close comparison with the earthly experience of Christ, to understand what is the right action for men, between oboedientia Dei and negotia mundi. Following these guidelines, it will be possible to reconstruct the anthropology in the background of the theology of imitatio, in order to understand how the text does not intend to suggest only a mere imitation of the experience of Christ, but also helps to establish an authentic one in its immanence, the Christian one.
