摘要
This paper exposes the concepts of conscience, will and human freedom in Saint John of Damascus's opinion, who made in the 8th century the first synthesis of teaching of the Christian faith. Like the Fathers who preceded him, all the anthropological concepts of St John are based on the Biblical creation of man 'in the image' of God. This is why the human beings possess reason, feelings, consciousness and free will. The way the man is structured, shows however the purpose for which he was created: to exercise his conscience and the freedom to choose good, to unite with God by his own will. Finally, there are references to the relevance of the vision of Saint John of Damascus on the consciousness of the contemporary man
