Augustine’s theory of first movements (primus motus, propatheia, and propassio) has provoked many controversies over the years. When discussing Augustine’s position in preliminary passions, some scholars maintain that he misunderstands the Stoics, whereas some others argue that he grasps their works rather well and his accounts are consistent with Stoic teaching. This article examines how Augustine transforms his predecessors’ conception of first movements into his own theory, with particular focus on whether Augustine misinterprets his predecessor’s doctrine in his approach. The first section introduces the recent disputations on Augustine’s misunderstanding of the Stoic concept of the first movements. The second section compares Augustine’s opinions in his early, middle, and late writings to determine whether changes occur in his interpretation. Based on the above observations, this essay argues that Augustine is familiar with the Stoic doctrines, but in his later works, he ‘deliberately’ deviates from their concept of the first movements in order to refute their ‘pride’ and to defend his Christian position on the psychology of preliminary passions. These deliberate new changes of terms by Augustine do not derive from a misunderstanding, but rather follow from his attempt at constructing a new dynamic theological framework of addressing passions during his later thought. The article concludes with a third section that revisits the modern critiques and responds with a consideration of the significance of Augustine’s views on preliminary passions.

重新思考奥古斯丁对第一乐章的误解:初步激情的道德心理学

多年来,奥古斯丁的第一乐章(primus motus、propatheia 和 propassio)理论引起了许多争议。在讨论奥古斯丁在初步激情中的立场时,一些学者认为他误解了斯多葛学派,而另一些学者则认为他很好地理解了他们的作品,并且他的叙述与斯多葛学派的教导是一致的。本文考察了奥古斯丁如何将前人的第一乐章概念转化为他自己的理论,特别关注奥古斯丁在他的方法中是否曲解了前人的学说。第一部分介绍了最近关于奥古斯丁对第一运动的斯多葛概念的误解的争论。第二部分比较了奥古斯丁在其早期、中期和晚期著作中的观点,以确定他的解释是否发生了变化。基于上述观察,本文认为奥古斯丁熟悉斯多葛学说,但在他后期的作品中,为了反驳他们的“骄傲”并捍卫自己的基督教立场,他“故意”偏离了他们对最初运动的概念。关于初步激情的心理学。奥古斯丁这些有意的新术语变化并非源于误解,而是源于他在后来的思想中试图构建一个新的动态神学框架来解决激情。文章以第三部分结束,该部分重新审视了现代批判,并以对奥古斯丁关于初步激情的观点的重要性的考虑作为回应。为了反驳他们的“骄傲”并捍卫他在初步激情心理学上的基督教立场,他“故意”偏离了他们对最初运动的概念。奥古斯丁这些有意的新术语变化并非源于误解,而是源于他在后来的思想中试图构建一个新的动态神学框架来解决激情。文章以第三部分结束,该部分重新审视了现代批判,并以对奥古斯丁关于初步激情的观点的重要性的考虑作为回应。为了反驳他们的“骄傲”并捍卫他在初步激情心理学上的基督教立场,他“故意”偏离了他们对最初运动的概念。奥古斯丁这些有意的新术语变化并非源于误解,而是源于他在后来的思想中试图构建一个新的动态神学框架来解决激情。文章以第三部分结束,该部分重新审视了现代批判,并以对奥古斯丁关于初步激情的观点的重要性的考虑作为回应。而是遵循他在后来的思想中试图构建一个新的动态神学框架来解决激情的尝试。文章以第三部分结束,该部分重新审视了现代批判,并以对奥古斯丁关于初步激情的观点的重要性的考虑作为回应。而是遵循他在后来的思想中试图构建一个新的动态神学框架来解决激情的尝试。文章以第三部分结束,该部分重新审视了现代批判,并以对奥古斯丁关于初步激情的观点的重要性的考虑作为回应。
