Descrizione: In book V of City of God, Augustine devotes long reflexions to the Stoic doctrine of Fate and to the issue of compatibility between Providence, Prescience and Freedom. This paper studies howthe reading of the antique debate between Stoics and Neo-academicians about destiny leads Augustine to redefine the concept of divine providence. The first part deals with the way Augustine interprets Stoic fatalism with Christian postulates in mind : destiny is understood as the chain of causes submitted to the will of God almighty. The second part focuses on how Augustine goes beyond the fatalist aporia by redefining the relationship between Divine Providence, prescience, cause and necessity. Divine Providence is a voluntary cause on the top of the causal hierarchy. It gives the other causes the power to actualize their own self- determined will. These theoretical elements are keys to understand the role of Divine Providence in Rome’s history and succession of universal empires. [Author] En rapport avec le De fato et le De divinatione
