In the present work, the author aims at the systematization of St. Augustine's thoughts concerning God and Truth, developed through the following stages: 1) In the first stage, the principal element to decide on his standpoint of thoughts is stated to be found in his attitude aspiring for the conformity of reasonable cognition and faith in the developing step where his thoughts are released from paganistic scepticism under the influence of Neo-Platonic idealism to be gradually elavated to a supernatural desire. 2) In the second stage, his view of the harmony of faith and reason is proved to favour the former which precedes and leads the latter. At the same time the union of faith and human knowledge is advocated, faith being given the foundation based upon reason to be distinguished from arbitrariness or superstition. 3) In the last stage, his attitude is clarified, evidences being given how he established the possibility and certainty of truth cognition against the scepticism of Academians.In short, it is asserted that the truth establishcd by St. AUGUSTINE is the intellectual one destined to grasp the spiritual eternity of God and the inner life of soul through the the realm of Platonic spiritual realism and the return to the inner experiences.
