Svedočanstvo Jevsevija Kesarijskog o nastanku jelinske filosofije

Abstract

Adjective Hellenic represents the usual national determinant for the overall philosophical thought of the ancient world. Hellenes' commitment to recording philosophical thoughts and historical events is really fascinating, but deeply problematic. We have noticed that the ancient writers dealt incomparably more with the originality of the so-called Hellenic thought than the official representatives of the present-day science do. In the writings of Eusebius of Caesarea, we witness a special commitment to this topic, which is why we cite his testimonies collected not only from Christian writings, but also from philosophical sources and traditions still alive in his time. From the attached material we can conclude that the adjective Hellenic m aybe called into question in the final determination of the origin of the basic philosophical principles of the ancient world. We find it useful to point out the present-day problematic use of the phrase Hellenic philosophy as to the domesticated terminus tehnicus (like the "ancient Greeks"). In the background of the mentioned syntagm, we recognize the centuries long attempt to im - pose a certain life paradigm in trying to change life orientation among our people, too. At this historical moment when the Christological paradigm of existence is being most seriously questioned, we must be aware of every spiritual and historical change that has occurred as a result of our insufficient ecclesiology, which has opened the way to insufficiently verified " facts" about God, man and the world around us.
