Klemensa Aleksandryjskiego koncepcja αρετη (cnoty)

Abstract

The analysis of the term arete (virtue), done in this article, considered by many researchers as a strictly philosophical term, proved, first of all, that it is an anthropological and theological concept which has a complex structure, created not so much through an indissoluble „chain of virtues” with agape at the forefront, as through values belonging to the intellectual, moral and existential sphere. And directed at the Divine community of the Holy Trinity, it unceasingly aims at a perfect harmony of all the mentioned values, on the model of Logos-Christ.
