Project Origins and Coordination

The Trinitarian Ontology Study and Research Project was born from the need to explore and deepen the philosophical, theological, and epistemological dimensions of Trinitarian ontology. Its origins are rooted in the collaboration between various Italian and international academic institutions, united by the common goal of promoting an inter- and transdisciplinary analysis of this complex field of study.

The project’s coordination is entrusted to three key figures, each of whom provides an essential contribution through their expertise and areas of specialization. Professor Piero Coda, a lecturer in Trinitarian ontology, plays a crucial role in providing the theoretical and methodological foundation necessary for an in-depth analysis of the subject. His experience and knowledge in this field are the pillar upon which the entire project is built.

Massimo Donà, professor of theoretical philosophy, contributes a philosophical perspective that enriches the debate and conceptual analysis. His ability to question the theoretical foundations of ontology and to bring different philosophical traditions into dialogue offers an essential critical dimension to the project.

Finally, Professor Carmelo Meazza, a specialist in moral philosophy, brings an ethical dimension to the project, allowing for the exploration of the moral and practical implications of Trinitarian ontology. His analysis helps make the project more than just mere theoretical speculation, but an initiative with significant practical and social applications.

The main academic institutions involved include Roma Tre University, the Pontifical Lateran University, and the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, among others. These institutions offer a fertile academic context and indispensable resources for the project’s progress. The collaboration between these entities and the coordinators creates a unique synergy, capable of addressing the challenges and complexities of Trinitarian ontology with rigor and innovation.

Hermeneutic Perspective and Interdisciplinary Approach

The Trinitarian Ontology Study and Research Project adopts a hermeneutic perspective that synergistically integrates theology, philosophy, and epistemology. This relational and Trinitarian hermeneutic perspective allows for the examination of the ‘theor-ethical’ meaning of the event of Jesus Christ, as well as the analysis of the figure of God as Trinity within the context of the history of religious experience and thought. The goal is to explore the interconnections between these disciplines to develop a deeper and more nuanced understanding of the themes addressed.

The project’s interdisciplinary approach is based on the collaboration between philosophy, theology, and the sciences, promoting a continuous and fruitful dialogue between these fields of knowledge. Trinitarian hermeneutics serves as an interpretive key to connect different disciplinary perspectives, fostering an interaction that enriches the research methodology. This methodology is based on a critical and systematic analysis that takes multiple viewpoints into account, allowing complex issues to be addressed in an integrated and holistic manner.

The Trialogo Cultural Association plays a central role in coordinating the project’s research, training, and dissemination activities. The association is committed to promoting a collaborative and interdisciplinary environment, facilitating the exchange of ideas and knowledge among scholars from various disciplines. The association’s ‘manifesto’ guides the initiatives, outlining the fundamental principles that steer the project and ensure the consistency of the activities carried out. This programmatic document emphasizes the importance of inter- and transdisciplinary research to better understand the dynamics of Trinitarian reality and its impact on theoretical-practical reflection.
