Abstract

Theophilos Korydaleus is a seminal Greek scholar of the seventeenth century. He was a key figure in the so-called Neohellenic philosophy. He was a Neo-Aristotelianist, and his philosophical works include comments on Aristotle’s treatises but also original treatises, letters, and speeches. Besides his scholarly activities, he served as a monk and Archbishop of Nafpaktos and Arta. He taught philosophy at various schools in Europe and Greece, while he contributed decisively to the renewal of philosophical studies at the Patriarchal Academy in Constantinople.
