"The 'Person and Love' is one of the most important Greek philosophical works of the 20th century. It explores the question of the possibility of human access to the transcendent Causal Principle of existence. Christos Giannaras consistently demonstrates that the anthropocentric hegemony of Western philosophical tradition leads to unworthy polarizations of thought. We cannot know reality solely through the understanding of concepts; truth is not exhausted in its linguistic formulation. It is gained only through the empirical immediacy of a loving relationship, freedom of self-transcendence, and self-offering."
