Muzički diskurs u kosmološkom pristupu Crkvi Klimenta Aleksandrijskog

Abstract

The philosophical and theological basis of the musical allegories from the writings of Clement of Alexandria is unanimously confirmed by all previous research. One of the distinctive features of Clement’s theology is a specific ecclesiological model that directly shapes the understanding of the Eucharistic chant. The research problem of this paper is the appearance of musical discourse in the three writings of Clement of Alexandria. By situating the theological issues Clement raises through musical discourse in the works Protrepticus, Stromata, and Paedagogus, we will examine how Eucharistic chant and music relate to the understanding of the Church as a reality that was perfect in the beginning. The goal of the paper is to connect the cosmological approach of the Church with the theme of Eucharistic chant and music.
