On the Possibility of Existence of a Christian Philosophy

Abstract

For nearly twenty centuries lasts a debate on the possibility of the existence and meaningfulness of the Christian philosophy. The answers to these questions are clearly grouped into three paradigms: a) Christian philosophy does not exist (it is an “iron wood”); b) it exists only as a historical fact and can be examined only in this context; c) Christian philosophy is a valid, meaningful and distinct movement in European philosophy and its boundary conditions can be given. In this article an attempt will be made to describe each of these positions and to present main arguments of the selected representatives, so that we can see both the crucial points of the dispute as well as the possibility of resolving them.
