Recenzje

The major merit of this book, offering a different picture of what can be described as a spiritual, philosophical, and cultural legacy, is due mostly to the new exegetical and hermeneutical research instruments...so the Oxford Handbook of Dionysius the Areopagite should be seen as a hallmark for the future reassessments in approaching philosophizing patterns of the Christian West vs. the Christian East, as of Medieval vs. Modern mind.
