Abstract

This book attempts to answer the question: what are the essential features of Greek education? In so doing, it explores the extent to which the educational ideals and practices of paideia have displayed continuity from classical Athens until modern times. The views of Plato, Photios the Great (9th century) and Nicodemos the Athonite (18th century) are examined in particular, revealing significant stages of development. The book offers a presentation of what paideia holds up to be its own goal on its own terms. The proponents of the paideia tradition sought an answer to the age-old question, 'What constitutes the human person?' The response to that enigma determined everything else. Education took shape accordingly and led to a lifelong process of harmonising the respective functions of the soul and body. On account of its value on both a personal and communal level, paideia is of paramount significance for Plato and other exponents, such as Nicodemos. Their individual legacies stand like bookends on either side of some 22 centuries of Greek education that are appraised w

Abstract

The Council of Constantinople of 869-70 was highly dramatic, with its trial and condemnation of Patriarch Photius, a towering figure in the Byzantium of his day, and the tussle of wills at the council between the papal legates, the imperial representatives and the bishops. It was church politics and personalities rather than issues of doctrine, such as icon veneration, that dominated the debates. Out of all the acts of the great early councils, the acts of this council, of which this edition is the first modern translation, are the nearest to an accurate and complete record. Its protest against secular interference in ecclesiastical elections was taken up later in the West and led to this council’s being accorded full ecumenical status, although it had been repudiated in Byzantium soon after it was held. No early council expresses so vividly the tension between Rome’s claim to supreme authority and the Byzantine reduction of this to a primacy of honour.

Abstract

Voici le grand livre de référence qui manquait à l'histoire du XIXe siècle : ce dictionnaire sans précédent rassemble les notices des 524 évêques concordataires nommés entre 1802 et 1905 et des 23 évêques in partibus ayant exercé en France. Jacques-Olivier Boudon fait ici revivre une des élites de la société française du XIXe siècle, les évêques étant à la fois observés dans leur parcours avant l'épiscopat, dans leur action au sein de leur diocèse, mais aussi dans leurs rapports aux différents régimes politiques comme à l'égard de Rome. Entre le Concordat et la séparation des Églises et de l'État, voici les vies des protagonistes de l'incroyable saga politico-religieuse de ce siècle.Une somme essentielle pour appréhender le XIXe siècle et pour comprendre les défis contemporains de l'Église et de sa hiérarchie.
