Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the conception of the cardinal sins in the work of Isidore of Seville, from his magnum opus "The Book of Sentences," which describes his world's vision from the perspective of Christianity and Augustinian teleology. The main focus is the building of a Christian society that aims to combat evil in the devil incarnate and its allies through the removal of sin and the construction of a vanguard of believers who would engage in the struggle of virtue against vices. The axis of this public health project aims to achieve the redemption and the second coming of Christ in the redeemer Millennium.
