At the end of 1851, the philosopher Theophilos Kairis was still relentlessly persecuted for his ideas. At the same time, he completes the printing of an anonymous book in London, which had been brewing for many years, as he aspires to summarize in a systematic way the doctrine of his worldview, of Godliness, which he himself had introduced into Greek society since the 1830s. this work, in fact, additional and indirect answers are given to his accusers. But when her copies Epitome of theological teaching and ethics they arrive in Greece, are confiscated at the customs and their circulation is prohibited, with the result that the last work of the persecuted scholar remains almost unknown to this day.
Η Epitome reissued here for the second time, based on one of its few surviving copies. The present edition, which takes place on the occasion of the completion of one hundred and seventy years since the death of the great Greek thinker, gave the occasion to study both the correspondence of Cairo and the other available sources in a targeted manner, so as to highlight the publishing adventure of his works in London, combined with various unseen aspects of his persecution in Greece. Its reissue Epitomy it allows the modern reader and scholar to explore in detail aspects of the theosophical system in its most mature form, and adds a new chapter to our knowledge both of the philosopher's iconic personality and struggles, and of the censorship of ideas that began to be imposed by Church a few decades after the establishment of the new Greek state.
