This outstanding historical figure who died 1151 years ago on February 14, 869, has become known in history under a different name, often known without the eloquent epithet of ‘philosopher’, but with the added religious dignity of St. Cyril. He is usually compared to his elder brother St. Methodius, and they are nowadays commonly referred to as the Apostles to the Slavs, although today hardly anyone knows that their original names were Konstantinos and Michael. There is extensive literature on the importance of these Thessalonian brothers for the creation of the Slavic alphabet (Glagolitic) and the translation from Greek of the liturgical offices. The literature includes mainly religious, philological and historical perspectives, but there are only few philosophical and historiosophical considerations. In respect of the mentioned anniversary of Constantine – St. Cyril, we will reflect on his philosophical education, views and discussions with various interlocutors.

The study points to the question of identity of Byzantine philosophy in its relation to Ancient Greek philosophy as it can be exemplified on John Philoponus´ work. Significance of Philoponus´ commentary rests in his remarkable affinity to modern critique of Aristotle´s explanation of nature. Aristotle´s treatise on heavens, its composition and intention exemplifies that Philoponus´ critique unintentionally evades the possibility of inquiring into the very own, philosophical, meaning of Aristotle´s explication. It also determines the way we enable ourselves to follow Aristotle´s decisive articulation of the concept of motion, change and nature. The question of eternity and finitude of the world in Aristotle can lead us today to reconsideration of the meaning of historicity as well as physicality of the world.

This article presents the issue of the value platform of Byzantine philosophy. It begins with polemics about the possibility itself of opening a debate concerning such a theme. It focuses on delimitation and complications of the research of a value platform of Byzantine philosophy and – at the same time – it looks for chances of its detection. Attention is paid to the field of culture and semantics of the terminological apparatus. A great importance is given to the reflection on the philosophical expression of cosmos as well as on the meaning of terms like “synergic” and “ecumenic”. The final part of the article refers to the possible message of the platform of values of Byzantine philosophy for contemporary European value orientation and its direction.

Increased interest in a systematic study of Byzantine philosophy study started to appear from the mid-20th century onward. The most influential figure that helped develop this area of research the most in its early formative years was V. Tatakis. Tatakis uncovered the great value of Byzantine civilization and became an inspiration for scholars who followed in his footsteps in France, Spain, Germany, Austria, Greece and elsewhere. The critical edition of Byzantine commentaries on Aristotle published during this time further supported a more complex scientific work in this field. Many unpublished philosophical texts from the Byzantine era wait their processing and publishing in a critical edition, which would make them available to be further examined, studied, and included in the corpus of Byzantine philosophy. The Byzantine thinkers created a cosmology that became foundational for the Byzantine anthropology. On the level of ontology, they introduced the term “person” (πρόσωπον), defined what later became an established terminology (in this field), and contributed to the philosophical interpretation of terms, such as essence (οὐσία), hypostasis (ὑπόστασις), nature (φύσις), energy (ἐνέργεια) and others. Byzantium had a significant impact on the territory of Great Moravia as well. By virtue of the writing, culture, and art that had been brought to our area by Constantine the Philosopher (Cyril) and Method, conditions for the development of culture in the Slavic environment were established.

The paper is focused on historical semantics of the term Philosophy, which we can find in Church Slavonic Vita Constantini. Semantics of the term is explained on the basis of the Byzantine sources especially the works of Maxim the Confessor and John Damascene. The definition of philosophy (Vita Constantini IV.) is reconstructed in Glagolitic original and the Greek textual equivalents of this definition are adduced. The text of John Damascene being its most probable source. In the definition, the term gnosis is explained. The formal and systematic view of philosophy and its content, as displayed in the Byzantine literature of the 7th and 8th centuries, is investigated.

The importance of philosophical contribution of Byzantium has been strengthened after the World War II by V. Tatakis, professor of philosophy at the Aristotle University in Tessaloniki, Greece. His book La Philosophie Byzantine published in Paris in 1949 is considered a pioneer work in the field. It was also the first general introduction to Byzantine philosophy to appear. It brought the term “Byzantine philosophy” into academic field and was the first systematic work on Byzantine philosophy; it was a significant landmark from the international perspective of the later study of Byzantine philosophy. Before Tatakis’ book was published, neither Western, nor Greek historiography acknowledged the existence of the philosophical thinking in the East Roman (Byzantine) Empire, which lasted 11 centuries. The term “Byzantine philosophy” was officially introduced in 1975 as a name for the international research and study. The Byzantine philosophy is not explored sufficiently in Slovakia. This article wants to contribute to the study of Byzantine philosophy in Slovak academic milieu.

The Byzantine culture had a significant influence on the Slavonic cultural context since the arrival of Constantine and Methodius to Great Moravia. Due to the impact of the Enlightenment movement in the 18th century, the history of the Byzantine Empire ended up on the periphery of scientific concern. The very same is true for Byzantine philosophy, which hardly receives any attention from Slovak philosophical circles, despite the fact that, in the 9th century CE, territory of present Slovakia won its place on the philosophical map of Europe as a part of former Great Moravia thanks to Christianizing mission of brothers Constantine and Methodius from Thessaloniki. The recent research revealed the unsubstitutable place of Byzantine philosophy in the history of European philosophical thought. The significant improvement was brought by Byzantinology, bringing the historical research to a turning point. However, the positive change in approach to historical and cultural contributions of Byzantine nations is not integrated in western philosophical awareness yet.
