Freedom of the Will as the Principle of Human Dignity in the Philosophical Work of Aurelius Augustine

The research objective. The purpose of the study is a historical-philosophical analysis of the ideological legacy of Aurelius Augustine, in that part of it that concerns the conceptual features of his understanding of the problem of the relationship between free will and human dignity, their relationship with God's will and Divine law. The statement of basic materials. The philosopher considers free will as one of the attributes that is inherent only to man, as the crown of God's creation. Free will belongs to the essence of a person, and gives him the opportunity to choose between good and evil, so he fights with himself every day, and in his heart good fights with evil, and who wins depends on how righteous and close a person is to God.
