Course Content (Syllabus)
The discussion focuses on the painful issue of the sanctity and eroticism of the body, with the aim of highlighting the functionally ambiguous of the sacred eroticism and erotic sanctity of the ordinary person, the loving person, in the context of Orthodox anthropology. Certainty, data and self-evident are in doubt. The attempt to understand begins from the beginning, in order, through the palpation of forgotten paths of a wide tradition, but also of its dialogue with the values of a world that is constantly evolving, to highlight the way in which continuous ideological embankments hid from the field the vision of immediacy.
