The Human Presence, Ecological Spirituality and the Age of Spirit
Metropolitan Gregorios ably summarises the profound thought of the Fourth Century Cappadocian Father [Gregory of Nyssa] emphasising the unity of all creation and the unity of all humanity. The mediatory and participatory role of humanity in relation to God and the world is stressed as the human vocation in time and space. He concludes the chapter by saying, "If all human activities and abilities, including the development of science and technology, were subordinated to and integrated with the quest for justice, freedom, peace, and creative goodness, the human rule over the creation could mean a blessing for the whole universe." The eastern tradition is further traced in the writings of Dionysius the Areopagite and Maximus' the Confessor.
Cosmic Man - The Divine Presence: The Theology of St. Gregory of Nyssa/ ca 330 to 395 A.D.
This book seeks to analyze the problem of human existence between its two poles, God and the Creation, in relation to the writings of one 4th century Christian thinker, Gregory of Nyssa, born around 330 A.D. and deceased around 395 A.D.
A Light Too Bright: The Enlightenment Today: An Assessment of the Values of the European Enlightenment and a Search for New Foundations for Human Civilization
Questioning the very legitimacy of Western liberalism and the modern secular civilization it has given rise to, Dr. Gregorios critically examines the values of the European Enlightenment of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and the corporate drive of European peoples by which they have dominated the external world. He shows that both Capitalism and Marxism, as well as Modern Science and Technology are creations of the same spirit, he argues.
Neoplatonism and Indian Philosophy
During the last two centuries a remarkable similarity between the philosophical system of Plotinus (205–270 A. D.) and those of various Hindu philosophers in various centuries, including some that lived prior to the Third Century A. D. has been discovered. "This book addresses the possibility of any direct influence of Indian thought upon Plotinus and his teacher Ammonius Saccas (185–250 A. D.) or even upon their major source, Plato. Are Platonism and Plotinism, and the thought patterns in Western religion, literature, and art derived from them, to be considered as mere variations on themes found in ancient Hindu philosophy or are they pure evolutionary products of Greek philosophy?
