Christos Yannaras: The timelessness of the Greek way

*🎬 Τι θα δείτε σε αυτό το Βίντεο: 📺* What did "life in truth" (kat' alitheian bios) mean for the ancient Greeks? How is the achievement (katorthoma) of the polis and of the "society of relationships" formed? Are there examples of this priority in later historical periods of our homeland? How did the cultural Hellenization—the "conquest from within" (endothen halosis)—of the immensely powerful Roman Empire become possible? How did Christianity respond to the metaphysical quests of Hellenism? Is our language the most tangible testament to our diachronic continuity? How did the ancient Greek language serve the endeavor (athlima) of the political art in the Classical period, as well as the primary experiential content of Christian ecclesiastical experience? Is there a connection between ancient Greek philosophical discourse and the discourse of the Church Fathers? Did the Byzantine Church of the faithful possess elements of a political event (politiko gegonos)? Did this society of relationships have administrative implications/extensions? Is there a qualitative continuity between Byzantine and ancient Greek art? How can the preservation of Greek consciousness and its admirable resilience during the 400 years of slavery under Turkish rule (the Tourkokratia) be explained? You have mentioned that in order to interpret the writings of General Makrygiannis, one needs to have a knowledge of ecclesiastical experience. How did it happen that Makrygiannis possessed this experience after 400 years of slavery, whereas the modern Greek has lost it in a much shorter period of time and mostly under conditions of freedom? What was the most significant factor that led to today's cultural alienation? What made them (modern Greeks) indifferent to the grandeur and joy that their ancestral cultural heritage gave them, and envy a cultural proposal that appeals to the lower instincts of the human race? How could modern man feel the need for participation in the society of relationships, and experience the joy of that endeavor (athlima), while being absolutely fixated on the material world of utilitarianism and self-interest? Is it possible to transmit (pass on the torch of) the love for the metaphysical? Special Tnaks to Stephen R.
