To Ινστιτούτο Ορθόδοξων Χριστιανικών Σπουδών στο Κέϊμπριτζ οργανώνει αύριο, μέσω της εφαρμογής Zoom, την παρουσίαση βιβλίου του π. Νικολάου Λουδοβίκου, με τον τίτλο: «Αναλογικές ταυτότητες»!
The event will take place on Friday 5 March 2021, at 5pm (GMT): A Conversation with Very Revd Prof. Nikolaos Loudovikos (University Ecclesiastical Academy of Thessaloniki), followed by Q & A.
A book about the possibility of retrieving a concept of selfhood from
Patristic theology, beyond the dichotomies of mind and body, or person and
nature.
Is it possible for nihilism and an ontology of personhood as will to power to
be incubated in the womb of Christian Mysticism? Is it possible that the modern
ontology of power, which constitutes the core of the Greek-Western metaphysics,
has a theological grounding? Has Nietzsche reversed Plato or, more likely,
Augustine and Origen, re-fashioning in a secular framework the very essence of
their ontology? Do we have any alternative Patristic anthropological sources of
the Greek-Western Self, beyond what has been traditionally called
“Spirituality” or “Mysticism”? Patristic theology seems to ultimately provide
us with a different understanding of selfhood, beyond any Ancient or modern,
Platonic or not, Transcendentalism. This book strives to decipher, retrieve,
and re-embody the underlying mature Patristic concept of selfhood, beyond the
dichotomies of mind and body, essence and existence, transcendence and
immanence, inner and outer, conscious and unconscious, person and nature,
freedom and necessity: the Analogical Identity of this Self needs to be
explored.
