Peculiarities of reflection of the human self in the works of Grigory the Bogoslov and Augustin the Blessed

This article examines the features of the reflection of the human self as a dialogue with oneself in the works of Gregory the Theologian and Augustine the Blessed. Gregory the Theologian and Augustine the Blessed studied the connection between the human personality and time, the guiding and directed role of the Absolute in the process of self’s reflection and cognition of the world. Thinkers showed the dialogical nature of the self’s reflection. In the teachings of Gregory the Theologian, reflection is of a sensual nature, and in the work of Augustine the Blessed it is epistemological (intellectual).
