Abstract

This trilingual volume brings together materials from the international conference Neoplatonism and Aristotelianism in Eastern and Western Christianity held in 2019 at Ilia State University in Tbilisi, Georgia, and organized by the  Savle  Tsereteli  Institute of  Philosophy.  Each paper has its own particular way of engaging with the traces that Platonism and Aristotelianism left on intellectual developments, stretching from late antiquity to the Middle Ages, and spreading to both Western and Eastern Christian traditions. It is noteworthy that the  Eastern  Christian tradition is portrayed not only through the  Byzantine thinkers of the Greek language, but also through the Georgian line of philosophical and literary development,  exemplified,  among others,  through Ioane  Petritsi’s heritage, that, both in its theoretical content and in its philological practice, adheres to the  Greek tradition and is nourished mainly by Neoplatonist elements  (especially  Proclos). The collection groups the papers into five thematic sections that follow one another chronologically: Patristics, [Greek]  Neoplatonism,  Ioane  Petritsi,  Latin  XIV-XIII  centuries,  and  Renaissance.
