Summary/Abstract: The axiological acceptance and discerning engagement with classical dialogue by the Church Fathers was not done recklessly or without content-related reservations. There is a certain superficial antinomy that requires some clarification. Two ancient worlds, rich in spirituality – the Greek and the Christian – meet existentially and influence each other. These interconnections cannot be viewed as simple or significant only from one perspective. The dynamics of eclectic choice are persistent, and the principle of “yes, but...” is present.
