Morality of lyingThe morality of lying has been the subject of interest of many ethicists and philosophers for centuries. Subsequently, various opinions were expressed on the essence of the concept as well as its legality. As a result, it is now possible to consider the morality of lying from very different angles, applying to different moral theories or beliefs. In this context, Saint Augustine must be considered one of the key figures in discussions devoted to the question of the morality of lying, because his beliefs played an important role in the maintenance of Christian morality and were often criticized and criticized . encouraged further discussion on the issue at hand. In order to better understand St. Augustine's views on the morality of lying, it is essential to first define what was actually understood about Augustine. I had difficulty suggesting counter-examples to the given ideology because, for me, it is complete in its rigidity and integrity. However, I realize that as a whole, this absolutism will probably not be more appreciated. An obvious criticism of Augustine that probably comes to mind is regarding his continued reluctance to admit that not all lies are morally wrong, since it is obvious that there could be situations in which a speaker, who intentionally deceives, acts for good. of something much greater. This given example raises objections to Augustine's ideology and could negate the absolutism expressed by the philosopher. For example, a utilitarian approach to the morality of lying would consider lying to be a necessary condition in the case where the good received outweighs the deception. Likewise, virtue ethics may also permit some violations of the general view that lying is immoral, in case there is some sort of conflict between the virtue of honesty and another.
