George Babiniotis: “Goodbye” to Christos Giannaras – “We will miss you, you were the voice of our conscience”

His farewell to the professor of philosophy, distinguished philosopher and writer Christos Giannaras, who left life at the age of 89, said with his posting on social media o. George Babiniotis referring to the great Christos Jannara mentions “a courageous intellectual, who operated on political, social, educational and ideological abscesses, proposing ideal positions, original, bold, revolutionary, ambiguous, even utopian. But deeply spiritual with reference to principles, rules and Greek or universal values.” “You could argue with him – with me often, although he associated us with a long friendship and deep appreciation – but you could never question his intentions, reasonable power and spiritual courage. He shook spiritually, disturbed and unsettled with truths he dared to utter, indifferent to the reactions he caused, if he did not seek them,” adds to his posting for his late friend Mr. Babiniotis. And he ends up posting for Christos Giannaras: “His word and thought fascinated the audiences. His writings are standards of qualitative-creative use of the Greek language, the result of a rare intellectual and also linguistic culture. The two of us often talked about language, in which he gave a deep ontological character, which was in keeping with my obsession with the relationship between language and thought. Christos, we will miss you sincerely, more and more, and above all at the level of substance, because you were actually acting as the voice of our conscience that controls us in hours of reflection and self-consciousness. “
