Summary
Werner Beierwaltes: Platonism in Christianity
The author of this unique and incomparable book of its kind in Serbian culture, one of the most thorough and informed researchers, and certainly the most brilliant understanding of history up to modern European philosophical thought, gives both a historical and systemic cross-section of the living of Platonic thought in Christianity. Following the historical arc of 20 centuries of the life of Platonism, the author reconstructs with extraordinary precision and unprecedented knowledge the main hubs of not only the reception of a historical idea but also the genesis of the transformation, i.e. the emergence of the two main traditional forces of Europe: philosophy and Christianity. In this way, the timeless truth of the essential Platonism of the European spirit comes to the fore, which in terms of volume and significance greatly surpasses the teachings of the historical Plato, but also the Platonism that arose in his wake and has been renewed for centuries.
