EIN VERSUCH ZUM WIRTSCHAFTSTHEORETISCHEN DENKEN AUGUST LUDWIG SCHLÖZERS 221 NEW EUROPE FOUNDATION NEW EUROPE COLLEGE Institute for Advanced Study New Europe College (NEC) is an independent Romanian institute for advanced study in the humanities and social sciences founded in 1994 by Professor Andrei Pleşu (philosopher, art historian, writer, Romanian Minister of Culture, 1990–1991, Romanian Minister of Foreign Affairs, 1997‑1999) within the framework of the New Europe Foundation, established in 1994 as a private foundation subject to Romanian law. Its impetus was the New Europe Prize for Higher Education and Research, awarded in 1993 to Professor Pleşu by a group of six institutes for advanced study (the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, Stanford, the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, the National Humanities Center, Research Triangle Park, the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in Humanities and Social Sciences, Wassenaar, the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study in the Social Sciences, Uppsala, and the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin). Since 1994, the NEC community of fellows and alumni has enlarged to over 700 members. In 1998 New Europe College was awarded the prestigious Hannah Arendt Prize for its achievements in setting new standards in research and higher education. New Europe College is officially recognized by the Romanian Ministry of Education and Research as an institutional structure for postgraduate studies in the humanities and social sciences, at the level of advanced studies. Focused primarily on individual research at an advanced level, NEC offers to young Romanian scholars and academics in the fields of humanities and social sciences, and to the foreign scholars invited as fellows appropriate working conditions, and provides an institutional framework with strong international links, acting as a stimulating environment for interdisciplinary 7 N.E.C. Yearbook 2015-2016 dialogue and critical debates. The academic programs NEC coordinates, and the events it organizes aim at strengthening research in the humanities and social sciences and at promoting contacts between Romanian scholars and their peers worldwide. Academic programs currently organized and coordinated by NEC: • NEC Fellowships (since 1994) Each year, up to ten NEC Fellowships open both to Romanian and international outstanding young scholars in the humanities and social sciences are publicly announced. The Fellows are chosen by the NEC international Academic Advisory Board for the duration of one academic year, or one term. They gather for weekly seminars to discuss the progress of their research, and participate in all the scientific events organized by NEC. The Fellows receive a monthly stipend, and are given the opportunity of a research trip abroad, at a university or research institute of their choice. At the end of their stay, the Fellows submit papers representing the results of their research, to be published in the New Europe College Yearbooks. • Ştefan Odobleja Fellowships (since October 2008) The Fellowships given in this program are supported by the National Council of Scientific Research, and are meant to complement and enlarge the core fellowship program. The definition of these fellowships, targeting young Romanian researchers, is identical with those in the NEC Program, in which the Odobleja Fellowships are integrated. • The Pontica Magna Fellowship Program (since October 2015) This Fellowship Program, supported by the VolkswagenStiftung (Germany), invites young researchers, media professionals, writers and artists from the countries around the Black Sea, but also beyond it (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Russia, Ukraine), for a stay of one or two terms at the New Europe College, during which they have the opportunity to work on projects of their choice. The program welcomes a wide variety of disciplines in the fields of humanities and social sciences. Besides hosting a number of Fellows, 8 NEW EUROPE COLLEGE the College organizes within this program workshops and symposia on topics relevant to the history, present, and prospects of this region. This program is therefore strongly linked to the former Black Sea Link Fellowships. • The Pontica Magna Returning Fellows Program (since March 2016) In the framework of its Pontica Magna Program, New Europe College offers alumni of the Black Sea Link and Pontica Magna Fellowship Programs the opportunity to apply for a research stay of one or two months in Bucharest. The stay should enable successful applicants to refresh their research experience at NEC, to reconnect with former contacts, and to establish new connections with current Fellows. The Pontica Magna Returning Fellows Program targets young researchers, media professionals, writers and artists from the countries around the Black Sea: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Russia, Turkey, and Ukraine. • The Gerda Henkel Fellowship Program (since March 2017) This Fellowship Program, developed with the support of Gerda Henkel Stiftung (Germany), invites young researchers and academics working in the fields of humanities and social sciences (in particular archaeology, art history, historical Islamic studies, history, history of law, history of science, prehistory and early history) from Afghanistan, Belarus, China (only Tibet and Xinjiang Autonomous Regions), Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Mongolia, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan, for a stay of one or two terms at the New Europe College, during which they will have the opportunity to work on projects of their choice. • How to Teach Europe Fellowship Program (since April 2017) This Program, supported by the Robert Bosch Foundation and a Private Foundation from Germany, introduces a new and innovative Fellowship module at the Centre for Advanced Study (CAS), Sofia, and the New Europe College (NEC), Bucharest. Beyond the promotion of outstanding individual researchers, the Program focuses on the intersection of fundamental research and higher education. The joint initiative seeks to identify and bring together bright and motivated young and established university professors from South‑eastern Europe to dedicate themselves for a certain amount of time to research work 9 N.E.C. Yearbook 2015-2016 oriented toward a specific goal: to lend the state‑of‑the‑art theories and methodologies in the humanities and social sciences a pan‑European and/or global dimension and to apply these findings in higher education and the transmission of knowledge to wider audiences. The goal of the proposed program is to use this knowledge to improve the quality of higher education in the humanities and social sciences and to endorse its public relevance. A tangible output will be the conceptualization of a series of new courses or, ultimately and ideally, the development of innovative curricula for the universities of the participating scholars. • The Spiru Haret Fellowship Program (since October 2017) The Spiru Haret Fellowship Program targets young Romanian researchers/academics in the humanities and social sciences whose projects address questions relating to migration, displacement, diaspora. Candidates are expected to focus on Romanian cases seen in a larger historical, geographical and political context, in thus broadening our understanding of contemporary developments. Such aspects as transnational mobility, the development

  • Ecclesiological Tendencies in the Ecumenical Approach of the Council of Crete
    Ecclesiological Tendencies in the Ecumenical Approach of the Council of Crete Alexandru-Marius Crișan* The Ecumenical legacy of the Council of Crete convened in 2016 is extremely important because of the consistent discussions on this topic during the grounding of the Council, but mostly subsequent to that, when the process of reception of the Council began. The Holy and Great Council of Crete of 2016, known also as the Pan- Orthodox Council, issued six official documents plus a Message and an Encyclical. Among those documents, one is dedicated to the question of ecumenical relations. Inside various Orthodox Autocephalous Churches different groups denounced the Council because of its ecumenical approach, meaning that a good understanding of the ecumenical legacy of the Council of Crete is one of the most important keys in its reception. In this study I will try to inspect the ecclesiological theology found in the Document on Ecumenical Relations released in 2016 by the Council of Crete, thereby analyzing why some of the groups rejected this document. Comparing different forms of the documents with the final approved form will help us understand how the Orthodox approach to ecumenism evolved in time, since the beginning of the preparations for the Holy and Great Council of the Orthodox Church. Keywords: Council of Crete, Pan-Orthodox Council, Ecumenism, Ecclesiological Theology, Ecclesiological Ecumenism, Orthodox Ecumenism 1. Introduction: Historical Background of the Pan-Orthodox Ecumenical Concern Carefully prepared during a long period of time1, the Council of Crete could have offered a unitary Orthodox point of view on the Ecumenical Movement and on the relations of the Orthodox Church with other Christian realities * Dr.

This shift from mainly handwritten production and the less popular xylographic printing (made from a single carved or sculpted block for each page) to typographic printing (made with movable type on a printing press in Gutenberg’s style) made it possible to produce more books by considerably reducing the time and cost of production.

  • Romania Redivivus
    alexander clapp ROMANIA REDIVIVUS nce the badlands of neoliberal Europe, Romania has become its bustling frontier. A post-communist mafia state that was cast to the bottom of the European heap by opinion- makers sixteen years ago is now billed as the success story Oof eu expansion.1 Its growth rate at nearly 6 per cent is the highest on the continent, albeit boosted by fiscal largesse.2 In Bucharest more politicians have been put in jail for corruption over the past decade than have been convicted in the rest of Eastern Europe put together. Romania causes Brussels and Berlin almost none of the headaches inflicted by the Visegrád Group—Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia— which in 1993 declined to accept Romania as a peer and collectively entered the European Union three years before it. Romanians con- sistently rank among the most Europhile people in the Union.3 An anti-eu party has never appeared on a Romanian ballot, much less in the parliament. Scattered political appeals to unsavoury interwar traditions—Legionnairism, Greater Romanianism—attract fewer voters than do far-right movements across most of Western Europe. The two million Magyars of Transylvania, one of Europe’s largest minorities, have become a model for inter-ethnic relations after a time when the park benches of Cluj were gilded in the Romanian tricolore to remind every- one where they were. Indeed, perhaps the aptest symbol of Romania’s place in Europe today is the man who sits in the Presidential Palace of Cotroceni in Bucharest. Klaus Iohannis—a former physics teacher at a high school in Sibiu, once Hermannstadt—is an ethnic German head- ing a state that, a generation ago, was shipping hundreds of thousands of its ‘Saxons’ ‘back’ to Bonn at 4,000–10,000 Deutschmarks a head.

Based on its stylistic features, the fragment from Vatopedi can be dated to the very end of the 12th century and most probably belonged to the earliest preserved fresco paintings in the main church. Key words: apostles, Peter, Paul, Vatopedi, fresco Part of the fresco with the closely joined heads of the two apostolic ko- ryphaioi from Vatopedi has been known in scholarly circles for more than eight decades.1 It is interesting that the views of two Serbian scholars, Svetozar Ra- doj~i} and Vojislav J. Djuri}, were crucial in terms of origin, stylistic analogies and the dating of this fresco-fragment, until recently. In the older researcher's opinion, which was based on an account by Teodosije dealing with the extension and decoration of the Vatopedi refectory,2 the fragment originated from that building, it was linked with the donor activities of two renowned Serbian monks in Vatopedi, Simeon and Sava, and he compared it with the earlier paintings of Djurdjevi Stupovi near Novi Pazar, dating it to the years of the rule of Alexios III Angelos (1195–1203), or to 1197/8.3 The younger scholar challenged the opinion * From the project no 147029 of the serbian Ministry of Science and Technological Devel- opment.

There is no indication that its rulers made any claim of being Roman Emperors. In artistic terms, the 12th century was a very productive period. Using a modern vocabulary, Louis comes across as more inclusive than Basil on matters of ethnicity, but also more exclusive on dynastic legitimacy. The Bulgarian title " tsar " Caesar was adopted by all Bulgarian monarchs up to the fall of Bulgaria under Ottoman rule. Walter de Gruyter. But in reality what disappeared in the throes of the Great War was not so much the Imperial Idea itself as the forms under which it had asserted itself in history during these two thousand years. Under Louis's arrangement, only his elder son Lothair would hold the title of Emperor, and Lothair's younger brothers Pepin and Louis should obey him even though they were kings, respectively, of Aquitaine and Bavaria. Paris: Les Belles Lettres. The collapse of the old defensive system meant that they met no opposition, and the empire's resources were distracted and squandered in a series of civil wars. San Vitale may also have served as direct inspiration for the Aachen Chapel. Byzantium was never a major influential city-state like that of Athens , Corinth or Sparta , but the city enjoyed relative peace and steady growth as a prosperous trading city lent by its remarkable position.

At first, he supported the union of the Churches and participated in the Synod of Florence (1439), but later he became a fervent opponent of the union. He mastered Latin language and respected Latin culture, especially Thomas Akinates. He was a great supporter of Aristotle.

Family George Scholaris was born in Constantinople between 1400 and 1405. In some texts he is also mentioned as Kourteses, which might have been his mother’s last name.1 His parents originated from Thessaly and belonged to the middle class of Byzantine society. He received his education in the Byzantine capital, his teachers being Mark Eugenikos, John Chortasmenos and Joseph Bryennios. 2. Unionist and anti-unionist By 1438, Scholaris had already gained prestige: he was didaskalos, senator, and general judge of Byzantines (katholikos krites ton Romaion). He participated in the Synod of Ferrara and Florence in 1439, supporting the Union. He knew the Roman Church’s doctrine better than most of his contemporary Byzantines. What he actually believed was that the Union should come as a result of honest reconciliation, through mutual tolerance and faith, not as the outcome of Rome’s political terms and pressure.2 Some years later, circa 1443, Scholaris came out as a fervent opponent of the Union.
