The word Orthodoxy and the word West do not refer to opposing ideologies or different religions. They indicate a difference in cultures, meaning a difference in the understanding of existence and ways of living - a difference embodied in institutions, Art, and the hierarchy of needs.
"Westernized Greek" or "Hellenized Westerner" are linguistic contradictions: like saying "wooden iron" or "iron wood." However, in the Greek-named state, which the West condescendingly allowed to form as a result of the Greeks' uprising against the Turkish yoke, the iron became wooden and the Orthodox Church became a conventional "national religion." This book illuminates this unholy alchemy.
