The Meaning of the Notion of «Eros» in the Thought of Christos Yannaras

Summary/Abstract: This article examines the concept of "eros" in the thought of the Greek theologian Christos Yannaras, while emphasizing its personal, ontological, and ecclesial characteristics. The study demonstrates how eros transcends its biological function and becomes a constitutive movement of life, which unifies creation and orients it toward God. This is based on the idea that the beauty of the world is a call to communion. Patristic reflections, especially those of Saint Maximus the Confessor and Saint Dionysius the Areopagite, highlight eros's capacity to overcome individualism and participate in the life of the Church. In this way, eros is both an expression of personal freedom and a path toward deification, while at the same time preserving the triadic structure of divine love within the created world.
