TRIERTIUM Conference:  A Trinitarian Synthesis of Wisdom

Information:

The TRIERTIUM conference is organized by the TRIERTIUM research group based at the Sts Cyril and Methodius Faculty of Theology, Palacký University in Olomouc (Czech Republic). The Conference will begin on Wednesday, 3 December 2025, in the afternoon and evening (public lecture). On Thursday, 4 December, and Friday, 5 December 2025, there will be a full-day programme including keynote lectures and shorter 20-minute presentations in parallel sections. The Conference will be accompanied by a series of artistic encounters (Václav Kadrnka, Antoine Dossin, Karel Martínek, Dalimil Ševčík) and filmed for Triunity, an art film by Václav Kadrnka reimagining the Trinity and a Trinitarian vision of reality.

About Event:

Throughout history, the human spirit has turned to philosophy in its quest to create a unified system of all-embracing absolute knowledge. Theologians have reshaped this quest by relating it to the personal wisdom of Triune God who knows Himself and everything else through the other as the Father knows Himself and everything in the Son, and the Son knows Himself and everything in the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit.

TRIERTIUM draws deeply from this relational tradition. In particular, we take inspiration from the holistic vision of the great Moravian theologian and philosopher Jan Amos Komenský, or Comenius, who coined the term “TRIERTIUM” from tri- (“three”) and ars (“art”) to name the early modern relational synthesis of all sciences and arts in Trinitarian ontology.

The TRIERTIUM Conference in 3 – 5 December 2025 will gather leading thinkers from philosophy and theology to consider the speculative ambitions and contradictions of the great systems and syntheses of human knowledge in the past and present. Together, we will reflect on how the Christian mystery of the Triune God transforms this quest for absolute knowledge of all reality. And we will participate in this transformation through a series of artistic, cultural and liturgical encounters.
