Persons from the Trinity: Trinitarian Ontology and Personalism

Publication

Abstract

The personalism of the 20th century brought many impulses to the understanding of man as a person. Yet the question of what the term "person" means is still open and offers many different approaches.

The Christian belief in the triune God brings a new view of the human person and of his essential characteristics. In this respect, the current of "trinitarian ontology", which views the reality of things and the human person in the light of the Trinitarian mystery, is particularly vivid.

The international conference will offer papers by Czech and foreign scholars on the relationship of Trinitarian beliefs to anthropological questions from the perspective of philosophy, theology, political science and psychology. The main guest of the conference is the eminent English theologian John Milbank
