Nikos: Readings in Kazantzakis

by Howard F. Dossor

In this post-Christian era Nikos Kazantzakis has enunciated a humanistic philosophy that relates the individual to the wider universe in which we live. He also offers a programme for personal development that accords with an understanding of Life as a perpetual grasping of the new. In these essays, Howard Dossor challenges theological interpretations of Kazantzakis and highlights the existential dimensions of his vision. Reflected here is Kazantzakis' sense of reverence for Life, his commitment to a collaboration with its turbulent struggle to ascend and a passionate plea for others to join him in such an engagement.
