    This research explores the theme of the relationship between memory and knowledge in Augustinian philosophy. When writing about memory, Augustine demonstrates how this power is manifested in the life of the human being in the most diverse circumstances. Based on the work Confessions, one of the main Augustinian writings, this research has as main objective to investigate the articulation and relationship between memory and human knowledge. For Augustine, memory is not only linked to a place where the images acquired by the experiences are stored, but it has an active role in the vitality of man, because only through it can questions of the past be elaborated, confronting them with the present, in order to arrive at new ideas. Memory is seen as a spiritual link of human interiority that makes it possible to live the reality of the immediate world, as well as the place where the unfolding of the subjective and objective being of each one happens. The relevance of this research is to express the determinant function of the human being's memory capacity, because Augustine clarifies that the source of knowledge is memory, so, without memory, no generation makes history and neither develops nor improves knowledge.
