    The Ascetical Way of Life in St Isaac the Syrian’s Writings.Agapie Corbu - 2023 - Diakrisis Yearbook of Theology and Philosophy 6:79-88.
    The present study deals with a theme of spirituality frequently found in the writings of St. Isaac the Syrian, namely the idea of “way of life” (Syr. dubara). Essential to understand the whole of his theology, this theme is treated in a manner little used until recently, but which is now becoming established in current academic research on Isaac, namely by appeal to his Syriac texts. This is achieved practically by pointing out the meanings of the Syriac term dubaraand its (...)

    Critique of Supernatural Revelation.Steven Nemes - 2023 - Diakrisis Yearbook of Theology and Philosophy 6:105-136.
    This article argues that the claim of traditional Christian theology and religion to be in possession of supernatural revelation cannot be substantiated in a valid and non-circular manner in principle. It then notes the consequences for theology if the notion of supernatural revelation is abandoned. It proposes agnosticism about unknowable matters as a way of exercising faith or trust in the limits God’s providence has established for human knowledge.

    Broken Phenomenology: The Silent Witness from the Decalogue Cycle of Krzysztof Kieslowski and his Philosophical Meaning.Ana Ocoleanu - 2023 - Diakrisis Yearbook of Theology and Philosophy 6:39-47.
    1988, as the TV cycle ‘Decalogue’ was finished by Krzysztof Kieslowski, one of the most intriguing appearances throughout its episodes was the character of the silent witness, a young man played by Arthur Barciś. He is the first character who appears at the beginning of Decalogue I and therefore of the whole series and who returns in eight from the ten films of the cycle in very different hypostases: as nomadic camper, surveyor, nurse, bus driver, or rowboat driver, traveler on (...)

    Vita passibilis, imperturbatio (apatheia), vita passiva: The Passive Condition of Man in the Theological Thought of Maximus the Confessor.Picu Ocoleanu - 2023 - Diakrisis Yearbook of Theology and Philosophy 6:67-77.
    Maximus the Confessor distinguishes three stages in the spiritual becoming of man: vita passibilis i.e. the way of life in that man is living under the reign of the bodily passions, apatheia as state of liberation from the reign of the lower passions, and vita passiva as modus vivendi in which the human makes the personal experience of the revelation and the presence of God. Thereby being man means according to Maximus suffering under the rule of someone - divine or (...)

    For the time Being: Heidegger’s Final Words in Vorläufiges I-IV.Joeri Schrijvers - 2023 - Diakrisis Yearbook of Theology and Philosophy 6:9-37.
    This article discusses the final volume of Heidegger’s Gesamtausgabe. It does so by contextualizing its main themes, that is, by relating it to other writings of Heidegger of roughly the same period. Three such themes can be discovered in Heidegger’s “final” writing: a discussion of the nature of phenomenology, the abandonment of the ontological difference and the relation between the thought of being and the discipline of theology. The essay concludes with a comparison of Heidegger’s thinking of Ereignis to how (...)

    Miracle and Humility in "Apophtegmata Patrum": Analysis of an Intricate Balance.Paul Siladi - 2023 - Diakrisis Yearbook of Theology and Philosophy 6:89-104.
    This article aims to examine the perspective on miracles and their relationship to humility offered by the alphabetical collection of Apophthegmata Patrum. For the analysis of this relationship, texts that speak directly or indirectly about humility have been selected and an attempt has been made to organize them into a coherent discourse. Then a significant set of accounts of miracles is analysed, which are seen from the perspective of their relationship with humility.

  7. Faith as Experience: A Theo-Phenomenological Approach.Nicolae Turcan - 2023 - Diakrisis Yearbook of Theology and Philosophy 6:49-63.
    This text proposes an analysis of the phenomenon of faith in the tradition and spirituality of the Eastern Church. Starting from the relationship between phenomenology and theology, the article uses a theo-phenomenological method to depict the phenomenon of faith both theologically and phenomenologically. This article also argues that non-religious faith—either natural or philosophical—is the foundation of religious faith. According to Orthodox spirituality, faith is not reduced to a set of theoretical teachings and dogmas; they constitute only the first type of (...)
