Abstract
This thesis argues that Christos Yannaras can be read as a thinker whose work contains a theory of education, which is profoundly political and Trinitarian. I explore his philosophy and theology, and I offer my own approach to his political thought. I focus on concepts such as “citizens”, “agape”, and “political liberty” which I consider to be particularly important for the educational view I present. Also, one of the aims of this thesis is to evaluate the educational approach that I discuss. For my assessment, I use the secondary literature. I suggest some ways in which this theory can be improved, and I argue that the Yannarian approach provides us with insights that are valuable for some contemporary discussions on education that focus on the notion of agape. To achieve my research aims, I bring Yannaras’ work into a fruitful dialogue with the work of various thinkers such as Hannah Arendt, Martha Nussbaum, and some critical pedagogy scholars.
