The concept of sophia, or wisdom, is deeply embedded in the religious and cultural history of European civilization, linked to intelligence, philosophy, and the religious notion of divine wisdom. This volume brings together papers that examine sophia from various perspectives – philosophical, theosophical, and sophiological – across three disciplines: art, theology, and philosophy. The chapters gathered here explore topics including Byzantine genealogies, Serbian sainthood, and Kantian philosophy, with a focus on case-studies from Eastern Europe. Through this multidisciplinary approach, the volume seeks to explore the complexity and significance of sophia within Christianity and Judaism and, by integrating artistic, theological, and historical-philosophical analyses, to create a space for a deeper understanding of sophia in both historical and contemporary contexts.
