The target of the Journal
The journal Diadromē is a new proposal in the field of research, in the context of the humanities that is interested in the theological and philosophical dialogue with epistemology in general.
It takes into account the need for experiential writing, which aims to highlight through the scientific discourse various aspects of research in the modern world with the authors’ freedom of evidentiary opinion.
It hopes to surround with aesthetic creative attire the dialogue on questions and quests concerning humanity in its natural environment, in the relation of man with the existential interests chosen by the humanities.
In its pages it intends to approve with criteria of scientific evaluation studies and articles of theological, philosophical and in general anthropological interest, in Greek and foreign languages.
It also seeks to seek dialogue with the humanitarian scientific contributions that come from the proposals every scientific field and their reflections, insofar as they recognize supervisory theological and philosophical discourse as constructive discourse in favor of a deeper understanding of man and the world.
From the above, even essays of a cultural and literary nature, but also interventions in the current reality of socio-political life, must find, in the “Lecteon” (“dicendum est”) space, their own place in the publication of the magazine, in order to constitute the complement of intellectual dialogue and hoarding in a living reflection offered to readers for critical thought and dialogue.

Summary of
Current Issue
The body of articles in this issue of this issue of the magazine spans a wide spectrum of contemporary scientific, theological, philosophical, and anthropological inquiry, intertwining tradition, the mechanics of consciousness, art, and education. The volume opens with an examination of the dogma of Christ’s Transfiguration in the writings of Saint Leo the Great, contrasted against the Eastern Hesychast tradition, thereby illuminating key theological divergences between East and West. Following this, the focus shifts toward existential reflection and “theoliterature,” occasioned by the book of A. Kosmatopoulos *Mystical Conversation*, as well as the philosophical dimension of “attention” in the oeuvre of Iris Murdoch, where the selfless transcendence of the ego and love redefine morality and the formation of consciousness through art and literature. This mystical and spiritual inquiry is further expanded via an interdisciplinary study of the ecstatic experience across diverse religious traditions, which analyzes altered states of consciousness through the lens of psychology and neuroscience. Finally, the thematic scope extends into applied pedagogy, demonstrating how experiential school curricula enhance students’ environmental and health literacy, while Self-Determination Theory is shown to foster Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) in primary education. However, a common finding among these applied studies underscores that, despite the documented benefits of these interventions on student engagement and readiness, their effective implementation is systematically hindered by institutional, temporal, and curricular constraints, as well as by deficient teacher preparation.
The contents of the studies are summarized below:
Fr Patrick B. O’ Grady:The researcher is completing here a four-part (in an editorial series in this journal) study on the Transfiguration of Christ according to Saint Leo the Great. Through his work, he attempts to comparatively highlight the doctrinal differences between the Western and Eastern Orthodox traditions, filling a significant gap in contemporary theological bibliography.
Ioannis Κourempeles: Drawing upon a contemporary treatise by Alexandros Kosmatopoulos, the researcher develops theological reflections regarding human existential thought. His objective is to highlight the practical locus and significance of “theoliterature” as a field of spiritual inquiry.
Venetia Nikita: The author conducts a literature review on school curricula regarding environmental health in primary and secondary education. Through her research, she demonstrates the positive impact of experiential and interdisciplinary learning on student engagement and systemic thinking.
G. Fountoulakis – C. Simos – An. Konstantinou: The authors adopt an interdisciplinary approach to the phenomenon of ecstatic experience and altered states of consciousness across various religious traditions. Through their study, they distinguish mysticism from pathology and underscore ecstasy as a universal anthropological necessity for union with the sacred.
Constantinos Mantzanariss: The researcher examines the concepts of “attention” and love within the moral philosophy of Iris Murdoch. Through his study, he illustrates how the selfless transcendence of the “ego” and the convergence of literature and art constitute a spiritual journey that shapes consciousness and guides humanity toward truth and the Good.
Sotiria Karolidou: Through this scientific study, the researcher investigates primary education teachers’ perceptions regarding the nexus between student motivation and Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), highlighting both the significance of “Self-Determination” Theory and the institutional constraints that impede its classroom implementation.
