Bruce V. Foltz Book order

This book explores the philosophical intersections between Byzantine and Russian thought and Western philosophy. It delves into the relationship between transcendence and immanence, drawing insights from Eastern Christian traditions. Ideal for those seeking to understand Byzantine thought and its relevance to contemporary issues in Western philosophy.

Both philosophical and theological texts of antiquity argued that a noetic or contemplative understanding of nature is higher than the discursive rationality oriented toward domination and control. Studying poets, mystics, and nature writers, this book argues that restoring a sacred view of nature is urgently needed in Western thought.
