Summary/Abstract: This study investigates the complex relationship between the theology of Father Dumitru Stăniloae and philosophy. The analysis highlights, on the one hand, the theologian’s critical attitudes toward philosophy, and, on the other hand, a more nuanced position in which philosophy is not entirely rejected by Stăniloae, but rather delimited by the truth of revelation. The article also examines the tensions between philosophical metaphysics and Trinitarian theology, as well as the use of a philosophical conceptual framework within theological discourse. Although Dumitru Stăniloae criticises autonomous philosophical systems, he nevertheless makes frequent use of philosophical instruments in the development of his own thought.
