Abstract

The chapter discusses the metaphysical foundations of the human quest for power and the significance of freedom in the context of Orthodox Christian eschatology and anthropology. If one aspires to properly understand the place and meaning of the political sphere from an (Orthodox) Christian point of view and to explore the antagonism between the Orthodox Christian faith and power structures (in the variety of forms in which they appear), it is necessary to delve into some of the basic (metaphysical) concerns of Orthodox faith. In such reading, the problem of power manifests itself as the problem of necessity which is in some very fundamental aspects connected with the human being in the world.
