The terminology of anima and animus in Augustine seems to be floating. G. O'Daly says that anima and animus can apply without distinction of meaning to human soul, and he concludes that the two terms are employed interchangeably. But in "Soliloquia", Augustine distinguishes between these terms. In this dialogue, he first declares that he wants to seize animus by the intellect, but afterwards, what he investigates is not animus but anima. In this paper, I would like to point out that Augustine's use of animus contains the meaning of self, and this self is the subject that uses rational soul. Rational soul can be used both in good and bad way. According to Augustine, the good use of it leads the soul to the vision of God. Man can uses rational soul in good way when he searches only for God and himself. Searching for himself is a preparatory condition for knowing God. That can be furnished with fides, spes and charitas. Thus, these virtues are considered to be something divine in anima. Augustine distinguishes two sides of the soul by using the words animus and anima, the rational soul as the searching subject and the soul as a place where the searching subject can find God.
