- Title
AMOR SOCRATICO IN PENSOSE COSCIENZE CRISTIANE. DALL'ULTIMO CRISOSTOMO AL NOVECENTO.
- Authors
Nardi, Carlo
- Abstract
In continuation of his articles published in Vivens homo (see above, n. 1), the author outlines frank Christian consciences confronting with special and homoerotic friendships, led by their personal condition or by their human interest. In a history of ideas, Nardi sees attempts to draw together socratic eros, both passionate and tempered, and evangelic agape, tender and firm. When consulted through literary criticism, significant personalities from the patristic times up to the twentieth century (John Chrysostom, the blessing constituting two men united in brotherhood, Sergius and Bacchus, Gregory the Great and Bede the venerable, Alcuin, Anselm of Aosta, Aelred of Rievalus, Marsilio Ficino, Erasmus of Rotterdam, Motaigne and de La Boethies, Francis de Sales, John Gray and André Raffalovich) give starting points to philosophy and theology.
