Born in Athens in 1935, Yannaras has emerged as a profound intellectual who has left an indelible mark on the theological and philosophical landscape. Despite his profound contributions, English-speaking scholars had limited access to the majority of his work until recently. While his The Freedom of Morality was translated into English in 1984, many of his other books, including Person and Eros (2007), Orthodoxy and the West (2006), Relational Ontology (2011), and The Schism in Philosophy (2015), only saw their English editions comparatively recently.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this comprehensive volume, chapters delve into various facets of Yannaras' profound contributions to Orthodox theology, philosophy, and political thought. Drawing upon his relational ontology of the person, which gained prominence in the Anglophone world through the work of John Zizioulas, the book offers a comprehensive examination of Yannaras' intellectual journey. Spanning from political theology to Heidegger's philosophy of language, from his critical engagement with religion to the patristic foundations of the theology of the person, and from Orthodoxy to the West, this volume presents a panoramic view of Christos Yannaras' multidisciplinary endeavors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough his profound insights and innovative thinking, Yannaras has challenged conventional paradigms and offered fresh perspectives on the complex interplay between faith, philosophy, and society. His work has resonated with scholars and thinkers across different disciplines, contributing to the ongoing dialogue between Eastern and Western traditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a testament to his enduring influence, Christos Yannaras has been hailed as \"without doubt the most important living Greek Orthodox theologian\" (Andrew Louth), \"contemporary Greece's greatest thinker\" (Olivier Clément), and \"one of the most significant Christian philosophers in Europe\" (Rowan Williams). This volume serves as a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in exploring the rich tapestry of Yannaras' thought, providing a comprehensive and accessible entry point into his intellectual legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 574g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 163 x 241 x 26 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780227176696                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44099432382714,"sku":"9780227176696","price":81.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/9ce4203bade7356e4fcdb3207bfc8eca.jpg?v=1631327154","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/polis-ontology-ecclesial-event-engaging-with-christos-yannaras-thought","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
