Filozofia w Bizancjum: znaczenie, autonomia, ramy czasowe, periodyzacja
Byzantine philosophy: meaning, autonomy, time frame, periodization

Summary/Abstract: Undoubtedly, the question of the existence of philosophy and philosophers in Byzantium is today considered as anachronistic. Nevertheless, many problems accrued around the Byzantine philosophy itself, did not live up clear solutions and explanations.The meaning given by the Byzantines of the science they studied, as ambiguous, makes it impossible to close it into a single definition. Inquiries of chronology, periodization, and the autonomy of Byzantine philosophy also do not offer consistent conclusions, not to mention the discussion about the criteria that modern researchers should adopt in their research in this field. It is not surprising, therefore, that in the face of the insignificant involvement of scholars in the affairs of the Eastern Roman Empire philosophy, many important issues still need to be explored. Some of them, it means the importance of Byzantine philosophy, its time frame, autonomy and periodization will be briefly discussed in the light of contemporary research.
