Augustine's identification of the Stoic therapy of passions (apatheia) as moderation (metriopatheia) has long been a focus of controversy. This article examines the theoretical foundation for Augustine's comments on the relationship between apatheia and metriopatheia in the Stoic and the Peripatetic contexts, with particular focus on whether Augustine misrepresents his predecessors’ doctrines. Based upon a critical examination of recent research and a systematic analysis of Augustine's position in various phases of his writing, this article argues for a dynamic scheme of the psychotherapy of passions in Augustine's late thought, in which he deliberately deviates from philosophical traditions by adopting new criteria to re-evaluate the quality of emotions from the perspective of theological anthropology. This dynamic theological vantage point contributes to Augustine's insight into passions as well as his new use of the philosophical terms in refuting the Stoic pride.

重新思考奥古斯丁对斯多葛式激情疗法的误解：对发育不良和情感淡漠的批判性调查

奥古斯丁将斯多葛式的激情疗法（无神论症）识别为中度疗法（子宫衰弱症）一直是争议的焦点。本文探讨了奥古斯丁关于斯多葛式和波斯语系语境中的情感淡漠和子宫发育不良之间关系的评论的理论基础，并特别关注奥古斯丁是否误解了其前任的学说。基于对近期研究的批判性考察以及对奥古斯丁在其写作各个阶段的立场的系统分析，本文提出了一种动态的奥古斯丁后期思想激情疗法的方案，在这种方案中，他故意采用新的方法来偏离哲学传统。从神学人类学的角度重新评估情绪质量的标准。
