Summary/Abstract: This is a hermeneutical attempt of renewing the essence of the pedagogical message of the sermon Admonition to the Young by St. Basil the Great. The introduction is a brief presentation of the culturalcontext of the “privatization of faith” and the development of a “humanist atheist ideology”, aform of “heresy, blasphemy and insult” uttered against Christianity ever since. There follows an attemptto explain the complicated and subtle relation between the Fathers of the Church, especiallySt. Basil the Great in his work Admonition to the Young, and the philosophy and culture “outside”.This report was inclusive, therefore not exclusive; it was a relation of assimilation of the high spiritualitycompatible with the Christian teachings or liable to Christianization.
