L’amour chretien, de la vertu et de la Valeur dans une societé mondialisée
Christian love, virtue and Value in a globalized society

Summary/Abstract: It is clear that humanity is marked by a profound spiritual crisis of identity, conscience and sense of life. The existence is often trivialized in the consciousness ofcontemporary man, the modern man, which amplifi es the crisis. We must be convinced that what we now call „European culture and civilization” is presented as anon-spiritualized, non-sacramental reality, detached by the spirituality of its basis- the Gospel, while talking about the post-Christian Europe. This study brings a newperspective on addressing the virtue of Christian love as the basis of Eastern spirituality, and absolutely necessary for the improvement of man’s salvation, throughthe paths of asceticism and Christian mysticism in the light of Holy Scripture andHoly Fathers of the Orthodox Church. In the context of today’s world – an unvaluedsociety marked by strong ancient and consumerist accents that spreads ephemeral“values” and pseudo-values, Christian love is the foundation of world’s buildingprocess, the basis of man’s creation, also the basis of the relationship between Godand man,as a start in ecumenical dialogue. The current study is also a short analogybetween philosophical love and Eros and between Christian love and agape.
