The first hour introduced the general theme of the lecture: the articulation of Passion (of Christ) and Passion (human). This was followed by a comparison of philosophical archaeology with two new orientations: Reinhart Koselleck's work on the "Future Past"(Vergangene Zukunft); and "postcolonial studies" aimed at "decolonizing the Middle Ages". Taking up the motto of "postcolonial medievalism": "restoring to medieval categories the uncertainty of a future that is still open", we argued for a decolonization of theology and its history, with the primary aim of reintegrating the Greek Fathers into the history of philosophy. We therefore announced the study of πάθος and παθεῖν, passion and emotion in Basil of Caesarea († 379) and Gregory of Nyssa († AD. 394) and, to this end, began a study of the term "πάθος" in the New Testament, presenting and analyzing three scriptural references: Epistle to the Colossians 3:5; Epistle to the Romans 1:26; 1st Epistle to the Thessalonians 4:5.
