Concept information
Preferred term
orthodoxy in political thought
Definition
- The contribution of Eastern Christian Orthodoxy to political thought is often either ignored or simply dismissed by Western scholars convinced that, because its historical experiences have no exact parallels in the modern Catholic and Protestant traditions, Orthodoxy was unable to formulate a coherent position towards politics, law, and society. While Eastern Europe did not directly experience the Reformation or the Enlightenment, Orthodoxy did encounter modernity, totalitarianism, and democracy.
