From Protology to Eschatology
Competing Views on the Origin and the End of the Cosmos in Platonism and Christian Thought
Seiten
Wie haben griechische philosophische und frühchristliche Tradition über den Ursprung und das Ziel des Kosmos reflektiert und über die Antworten, die in den jeweiligen Traditionskreisen gegeben wurden? Die Aufsätze in diesem Band zeigen, dass die griechische philosophische und die frühchristliche Tradition ein gemeinsames Interesse daran hatten, nicht nur über die Prinzipien nachzudenken, die die Kosmologie bestimmen, und darüber, wie der Kosmos auf seine Prinzipien zurückgreift, sondern auch über die Antworten, die in beiden Tradition diesbezüglich gegeben wurden.
This volume contains the proceedings of an international conference held in Leuven in June 2017 as a follow-up to a previous meeting that dealt with views on the origin of the cosmos in Greek philosophical and early Christian tradition (published in STAC 104, 2017). The second conference focused on how both traditions have reflected on the end or the goal towards which the cosmos is moving. The Judeo-Christian concept of a creation with temporal development and the philosophical notion of the eternity of the world evidently represent two very different positions. Yet there are also clear signs of convergence and of the latter influencing the former. The essays show there is common interest in reflecting not only on the principles that govern cosmology and on how the cosmos is reverting on its principles, but also on the answers provided in each tradition.
