Christian Philosophy in the Patristic and Byzantine Tradition

[SeekingHisHeart]

I was wondering if any of my Orthodox or Eastern Catholic brothers could tell me if this book is a difficult read for a novice?

You’ve got me interested.

I just found out this author was born in 1896, lived in Greece, was a professor of philosophy in Thessoloniki and lived for around 90 years.

The book is probably a translation, at least I would think so, you can check.

I don’t really know but I would expect it to have some depth.

thank you for your reply.

this book has been tugging on my heart for over a year now, but was a little intimidated to buy it since I have studied philosophy minimally(and honestly never liked the way it was taught-divorced from theology…I had done some reading about how the east doesn’t divorce the two so I was interested very much in the eastern churches philosophy)

I just found a review online that says it’s an “has a simplicity of its style and in-depth analysis” ishmaelite.blogspot.com/2008/02/larchets-review-of-tatakis.html
He says that it’s much simpler than it’s predecessor “Byzantine Philosophy”
