In the history of thought, Christos Yannaras is one of the names that keeps being returned to.
The record lists Christos Yannaras as Greek philosopher and Orthodox theologian (1935–2024).
Christos Yannaras was born at Athens in 1935. His recorded nationality is Greece. He studied at University of Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne and National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.
Twentieth-century philosophy was marked by war, exile and ideology; many of its central figures wrote in flight or under censorship.
His academic posts were held at Panteion University.
The recorded fields of work are philosophy, theology and literary activity.
The discipline keeps its dead in print, because the arguments are still open.
That the work was done from Greece matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Christos Yannaras died in 2024, aged 89. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
