Summary
The book’s conclusions show how already in Cappadocian theology there is a true ontological revolution, which makes it possible to recognize in their thought a true Christian philosophy that has its center in the metaphysical reinterpretation of relations, a step that can prove extremely useful even in the current context characterized by postmodern thought. In fact, the Cappadocians developed an authentic Trinitarian ontology, which is such insofar as it is relational, since it introduces the relation into the immanence of the divine substance and reinterprets the world and history in the light of this novelty.
