What humanism in the Orthodox Christian perspective?

Nicolas Lossky examines the question of humanism from the perspective of Orthodox Christian theology, in response to the tensions arising from the confrontation of contemporary Orthodoxy with certain modern values, particularly the notion of human rights. Through a fundamental theological reflection, the author questions the reluctance observed within certain Orthodox circles toward these values and seeks to move beyond surface-level oppositions. The central idea is that of a "theocentric humanism," characteristic of the Orthodox tradition, which places God at the foundation of human dignity. The contribution of this article lies in its attempt to build a constructive dialogue between Orthodox thought and Western rationality, by identifying possible points of convergence rather than insisting on doctrinal or cultural incompatibilities.
