Abstrakt/ Abstract: The term of ,Christian philosophy‘ is less traditional than often assumed. It was not until the 1930s that the term became the subject of a significant and intense debate. This controversy elicited a range of responses, including outright rejection of the term as a contradictio in adiecto (a contradiction in terms), alongside more moderate interpretations that sought to rehabilitate and redefine its meaning. This study aims to trace the historical development of this debate and to engage with a contemporary interpretation offered by Josef Seifert, characterized as a cataphatic approach to the concept. The primary objective is to critically analyze Seifert's position while revisiting the broader discourse on Christian philosophy, ultimately striving for a more coherent and accessible definition of the term.
