Attention in Augustine
Original language description
The article treats the role of attention (intentio or attentio) in Augustine's analysis of sense perception, the notion of time, and the Trinitarian structure of the human mind. The term intentio covers a broad range of meanings in Augustine's usage. Its most fundamental meaning is the life-giving presence of the soul in the body, intensified in attention's being concentrated on a particular thing or experience; Augustine also uses the term attentio in this latter sense. According to his analysis of time, by way of attention (intentio or attentio), the soul fixes the present in which the future passes into the past. Due to the intention of the soul, the form abstracted from an external object is both imprinted into the sense organ and retained in the memory in order to be, by intention again, recalled before the sight of mind. As "the intention of the will" or just "the will", attention connects intellectual understanding with memory. In Augustine's eyes, attention has a different quality depending on the object it is oriented to, and a different intensity, ranging from inattentive distraction (distentio) to concentrated effort (intentio).
