Aristotle in Theodore of Raïthu and Pamphilus the theologian: The Search for a Chalcedonian philosophy
- Abstract:
- This chapter discusses the thought of two little-known Christian authors, Pamphilus the Theologian and Theodore of Raïthu. They probably wrote between 550 and 710 defending the version of Chalcedonianism adopted by the Second Council of Constantinople (553). Both make use of Aristotle more than previous generations of Christian thinkers. In the chapter this debt is analysed and compared with the influence of the earlier Patristic philosophy inaugurated by the Cappadocians and modified by early sixth-century Chalcedonian Leontius of Byzantium. The conclusion is that it is the latter tradition that ultimately determines the philosophical principles in the two writers including their utilisation of Aristotelian ideas.
