PHILOSOPHY IN NEOPATRISTICS HISTORICAL AND SYSTEMATIC STUDIES
The 2022 Conference will focus on philosophical aspects of so-called “Neopatristic synthesis”, an intellectual school, aimed at the revival of patristic approach in theology and philosophy. This was arguably the most influential movement in the twentieth-century Orthodox thought, established by Russian emigrants Georges Florovsky (1893-1979) and Vladimir Lossky (1903-1958), was developed in different ways by for instances Paul Evdokimov (1901-1970), Dumitru Stăniloae (1903-1993), Alexander Schmemann (1921-1983) or John Meyendorff (1926-1992). Nowadays it is still continued by such figures as John Zizioulas (b. 1931), Kallistos Ware (b. 1934), Christos Yannaras (b. 1935), Sergey Horujy (1941-2020), or Alexei Nesteruk (b. 1957).
The theological significance of the neopatristics movement is beyond discussion; all these authors are essential for the twentieth-century Orthodox theology. During the conference, however, we are going to discuss and develop the philosophical aspects of that heritage. We believe that neopatristics synthesis has also philosophical significance which might be investigated both in historical and systematic perspectives.
We propose to discuss the following topics: 1. History of Neopatristics; 2. Recent Studies in Neopatristics; 3. Neopartistics and Russian Religious Philosophy; 4. Russian and Greek Neopatristics; 5. Orthodox Neopartistics and Catholic Neo Thomism; 6. Neopatristic and Radical Orthodoxy; 7. Horujy’s Synergetic Anthropology and Neopatristics ; 8 Neopatristics and Analytical Metaphysics; 9. Neopatristics and Contemporary Philosophy of Religion; 10. Neopatristic and Contemporary Philosophical Anthropology; 11. Science and Religion in Neopatristics; 12. Neopatristics and the Philosophy of History.
