The vision of the Association is reflected in the principles that were the basis of its constitution and guides all its activities:

   The Principle of Coherence – expressed through fidelity to the tradition of patristic texts, and which is underlined in the Association subtitle: For a Science of the Soul into Tradition.

   The Principle of Anamnesis – manifested by recalling and translating the patristic conception on man, understood in its unity of body and soul, into a contemporary discourse.

   The Principle of Openness – manifested through rendering accessible the universality of the patristic message to all the categories concerned, irrespective of their specificities.
