On March 25th, 2024, our colleague Cyril Dunaj presented an interpretation of the Manifest for a Trinitarian Ontology.

In January 2024, Prof. Mátyás Szalay visited Olomouc and gave a lecture within our “Trinitarian Ontologies & Relationality Research Seminars Series”. Prof. Mátyás Szalay was for many years the director of the Edith Stein Philosophical Institute in Granada, where he organized the Beyond Secular Faith conferences. Their aim was to reflect on the renewal of Christian thought in the light of revelation in the midst of the contemporary world. Prof. Szálay presented his approach to the Trinitarian ontology at the project team seminar. He focused primarily on the comparison of the approach of realist phenomenology and Trinitarian ontology. As a disciple of the leading phenomenological thinker Josef Seifert, he built on the ideas as well as criticism of his work. In contrast to Seifert’s phenomenology, which has at its centre a cognizing and reasoning subject who comes to know the reality of the world and its transcendent anchoring, he placed a Trinitarian ontological perspective grounded primarily in the network of relations preceding any of our knowledge.
