Abstract
The Augustine’s doctrine on human will is proposed as an original contribution. His conception of will as act (motus animi) and power of the soul (vis animi) is explained. The main question is the inner division or breaking of the will (duality, ambivalent will), and the conflict between the two wills. Finally and shortly, we examine love (dilectio, caritas) as the Augustine’s «solution» (?) to this problem: the resolution of the inner conflict of the will through his transformation in love.
