Reseña del libro "Socrates and Other Saints: Early Christian Understandings of Reason and Philosophy (Kalos) (en Inglés)"
Many contemporary writers misunderstand early Christian views on philosophy because they identify the critical stances of the ante-Nicene fathers toward specific pagan philosophical schools with a general negative stance toward reason itself. Dariusz Karłowiczs Socrates and Other Saints demonstrates why this identification is false. The question of the extent of humanitys natural knowledge cannot be reduced to the question of faiths relationship to the historical manifestations of philosophy among the Ancients. Karłowicz closely reads the writings of Justin Martyr, Tertullian, Clement of Alexandria, and others to demonstrate this point. He also builds upon Pierre Hadots thesis that ancient philosophy is not primarily theory but a way of life taught by sages, which aimed at happiness through participation in the divine. The fact that pagan philosophers falsely described humanitys telos did not mean that the spiritual practices they developed could not be helpful in the Christian pilgrimage. As it turns out, the ancient Christian writers traditionally considered to be enemies of philosophy actually borrowed from her much more than we think--and perhaps more than they admitted. This significant new book amply demonstrates that the relationship of Christianity to pagan teaching did not really correspond to what we today take to be the distinction between faith and reason. Instead it was a matter of complex continuities as well as discontinuities in terms of practice and spiritual stance as much as theoretical affirmation. A very important corrective. --John Milbank, author of Theology and Social Theory Dariusz Karłowicz is a philosopher, publisher, and columnist. He is editor-in-chief of the Polish philosophical magazine Teologia Polityczna (Political Theology), President of the St. Nicolas Foundation, and author of The Archparadox of Death
