What Dominique Pagani says
Dominique Pagani returns to Augustine mainly for his sentence in the Confessions about time: when no one asks him, he knows what it is; as soon as he is asked, he no longer knows12. He sees in it the humility of a Church Father and sheds light on the sentence through an "I have changed", which presupposes a self that has remained identical3. In the Confessions, he also notes the Carthage episode in which Augustine follows prostitutes whose soles print "follow me" in the sand4. He further points to Augustine's remark, which he considers very Freudian, on a baby's hatred of its brother, and traces the origin of the word "pollution" to Augustine's despair over his nocturnal emissions5. In the sessions on Nerval, he judges Angélique's confession bolder than Augustine's. The name also appears in the free association of Freud's friend, where "August" refers to the month of August. Finally, he mentions the thesis Arendt devoted to him.
