本論文嘗試以奧古斯丁的基督教思想，包括智慧、靈魂、 及上帝之恩惠來探討馬羅《浮士德博士》此劇本中主角浮士德的人性議題。一方面藉由奧古斯丁主要的基督教思想詮釋浮士德此角色，尤其特別著重於其心理狀態的詮釋；另一方面也試圖展現馬羅《浮士德博士》本劇中的奧古斯丁基督教思想觀，例如：邪惡、友情和婚姻。藉由此兩方面的相互呼應，本論文試圖將浮士德視為呈現奧古斯丁基督教思想的角色，特別是其中含蘊的道德觀、公義與善惡之別。

This thesis aims mainly to explore the issue of human nature in Christopher Marlowe’s The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus by using Augustine’s thoughts on Christianity, including his notions of wisdom, soul, sin and the grace of God. These Augustinian thoughts will be employed to interpret Doctor Faustus’ psychological condition and present Faustus as an Augustinian character who is predestined to be condemned after the Fall of Adam and Eve. In addition, this thesis will also try to demonstrate Augustinian notion of evil, friendship and marriage in Doctor Faustus. By reading the text together with Augustine’s thoughts, this thesis hopes to demonstrate that Dr. Faustus is an Augustinian character endowed with Christian morality and theodicy.
