The colloquium took place at Sts. Cyril and Methodius Faculty of Theology,Palacky´UniversityOlomouc,CzechRepublic,onOctober21–23, 2010.Outoftheeighteencontributionswrittenforthisoccasion(and,with twoexceptions,readanddiscussedinOlomouc),sixteenwerepreparedfor publication. The Olomouc colloquium was one of the first specialized gatherings of scholars working on Clement of Alexandria. Why have the organizers chosentheseventhbookoftheStromateis,ratherthan,forexample,thefirst book,orsometopicthatwouldprovideanopportunityforamoregeneral discussionoftheauthor,hiswork,anditscontext?Theanswerissimple. TheseventhbookisinmanywaysClement’scrucialwork,representinghis methodofwritingatitsbestandprovidinganaccesstothemostimportant facetsofhisthought.ItisthelastextantpartoftheStromateis,orthelast one that was surely finished by its author. It was not meant to be so: In the seventh book Clement anticipates at least one ‘Stromateus’ to follow, promising to start, after the end of this one, “from another beginning.” Nevertheless he also presents the seventh book as a culmination of the preceding volumes, more precisely of the ‘ethical account’ or the ‘ethical part’ofChristianphilosophy,starting,presumably,atthebeginningofbook two. It is this position of the seventh book as the summit of the ‘ethical part’thatmakesitsointerestingforthestudentofClement.Beingtheend- pointoftheprecedingdiscussionsofvariousethicalquestionsitrevealsthe contoursofthewholeintowhichtheyproperlybelong.Tosomeextentthe seventhbookisarecapitulationofthemostimportanttopicsoutlinedinthe ‘ethicalpart,’onethatintegratesthemallintothatsingle-minded,dignified, and startlingly optimistic vision of the world, religious tradition, and the goalofhumanlife,whichissotypicaloftheAlexandrianthinker.
