📣 Our next TRIERTIUM research seminar will feature a lecture by Joseph M. McMeans, PhD (Department of Philosophy and Patrology, Palacký University) entitled: The Philosophical Tradition of the Greek Church Fathers: On the Christian Continuation of Ancient Philosophy.📅 24 April 2026, at 14:00
📍 room 3.23 at the Sts Cyril and Methodius Faculty of Theology, Palacký University Olomouc (Univerzitní 22)
📚 The lecture challenges the predominantly theological interpretation of the Church Fathers’ writings by situating them within the sapiential framework of Ancient Greek philosophy. Drawing on Pierre Hadot’s methodology, it presents patristic philosophy as a way of life oriented toward moral transformation and likeness to God (homoiōsis theōi), rather than as a purely speculative discipline. Particular attention is paid to the reception and development of this philosophical model within Byzantine monastic communities. The lecture concludes by arguing for a renewed methodological approach to patristic literature that takes seriously its ancient philosophical context.
Anyone interested is welcome to attend!
ℹ️ The research seminars are organized by the TRIERTIUM research group (www.trieritum.cz).
