Prayers in Hell

King Midas - the legend says - transformed everything he touched into gold. Theodor Damian transforms everything he touches into poetry. Sequences from street life, landscapes, peoples gestures, usually looked upon as banalities, disclose, under his eye, their beauty. Other contemporary authors make poetry out of poetry. Theodor Damian makes poetry out of daily reality. The blase man of the twenty first century has a lot to learn from this book. Reading it one can rediscover the joy of life. It is a resurrection exercise. Alex Stefanescu This is an exceptional book, a synthesis of the poets lyric and philosophical vision on how the impossible looses its limits when it is immersed in prayer. In Damians poetry the I of the lyrical and the I of metaphysical reflection complement each other in total harmony and become definitory for the poets work when they meet in the profound dimensions of Christian spirituality. Prayers in Hell represents an editorial event of utmost importance in the landscape so arid and so repetitive of our contemporary poetry. M.N. Rusu

The Poetry of Gregory of Nazianzus

Discovering a New Face of His Personality

By: Theodor Damian

Gregory of Nazianzus was a personality of first rank in the complex world of the 4th Christian century. Famous for his theological orations and for his role in the development of the Second Ecumenical Council in 381 in Constantinople, where he was the Patriarch of the Orthodox Church, he was one of the most celebrated poets of his time, even though today he is known in particular for his major contributions to the establishment of the Orthodox theology that was confronted with the heresies of the time. This book will allow the reader to discover not the theologian, but the poet in Gregory, as his poetry is the place where one can see the all-too-human aspects of his personality. As such, it represents a significant contribution to scholarship on Gregory, bringing to light new and defining characteristics of his life, thought and practice.

St Theodore the Studite's Defence of the Icons

Theology and Philosophy in Ninth-Century Byzantium

By: Torstein Theodor Tollefsen

St Theodore the Studite's Defence of the Icons provides an investigation of the icon-theology of St Theodore the Studite, mainly as it is presented in his three refutations of the iconoclasts, the Antirrhetici tres adversus iconomachos. Torstein Theodor Tollefsen explores Theodore ́s 'philosophy of images', namely his doctrine of images and his arguments that justify the legitimacy of images in general and of Christ in particular. Tollefsen offers a historical, theological, and philosophical exploration of Theodore's doctrine of images and his arguments justifying the legitimacy of images and of Christ. In addition to the main elements of Theodore ́s defence of the icon, like the Christological issue, the relation between image and prototype, the question of veneration, his explanation of why we may say of an image that 'this is Christ', and his innovative thinking on the representative character of the icon, the book has an introduction that places Theodore in the history of Byzantine philosophy: he has some knowledge of traditional logical topics and is able to utilize argumentative forms in countering his iconoclast opponents. The volume also provides an appendix which shows that the making of images is somehow natural given the character of Christianity as a religion.

Homo animal nobilissimum

Konturen des spezifisch Menschlichen in der naturphilosophischen Aristoteleskommentierung des dreizehnten Jahrhunderts. Teilband 1

By: Theodor W. Köhler

This monograph deals with the philosophical approach of thirteenth-century masters to concrete, practical manifestations of 'quantum ad naturalia' in human lives in their commentaries on Aristotle’s works on natural philosophy, both his genuine works and those then considered genuine. It inquires into what they deemed worthy of philosophical debate regarding this topic and how they tackled it. The first of the two volumes describes the cultural surroundings, the scholars’ way of approaching the topic, and their discourses on the peculiarity (singularity, unity, consistency) of humankind and on its internal differentiation according to gender, stage of life, social stratification, and differences due to ethnic status or geographic (climatic) diversity. This is the first comprehensive source-based study of the subject; it draws heavily on unedited texts.

China's International Socialization of Political Elites in the Belt and Road Initiative

By: Theodor Tudoroiu,with Amanda R. Ramlogan

This book argues that China’s international socialization of the political elites of Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) partner states is an exceptionally effective instrument of China’s current foreign policy. It shows how the BRI-related process of socialization generates shared beliefs in the legitimacy and therefore in the acceptability of a Chinese international order among target elites and how in turn the policies and actions of states controlled by these elites tend to become aligned with the norms ‘taught’ by the Chinese socializer. It goes on to show how this serves the interests of China’s government, firms, and citizens at national, regional, and global levels; and how the resulting increased support for Beijing’s version of the international order creates a virtuous circle that further enhances China’s international position and potential.

The Isar Sign

The Isar Sign

By: Theodor Damian

In other books, Theodor Damian shared with us the way the world is seen from an altar or from an American agora, from the university chair or from his missionary work on the planet B; and all these were privileged hypostases. Now, in this book, the rhetoric is risen to the power of the final experience: the way the being gets closer to a personal "sepulcher of innocence." Death revises life. It essentializes, selects, resets the traces left by our deeds, by our love, by our knowledge. It gives way to the urgency of a total revision, together with finding the true priorities of life. It purifies ritually man's living and writing. Thus a water of purification is evoked: the Isar River. Under its sign, comes to an end a book which we appreciate as the most accomplished of Theodor Damian's works. - Vasile Andru" -- Back cover
