Euthymius of Athos

Georgian philosopher and scholar

Euthymius of Athos wrote at a period when the questions philosophy asked were themselves being renegotiated.

The record lists Euthymius of Athos as Georgian philosopher and scholar.

Euthymius of Athos was born at Georgia in 955. His recorded nationality is Greece.

Thought in this period moved between the Islamic world, the Jewish communities and the Latin West, and the same texts were argued over in three traditions.

Philosophical influence is measured in the questions a thinker made unavoidable.

That the work was done from Greece matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.

Euthymius of Athos died in 1028, aged 73. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
