from the invisible. Doctoral dissertation In 2002, Neamțu completed his Master of Arts research at Durham University, with his dissertation "Theology and Language in St Gregory of Nyssa" written under the supervision of Andrew Louth. The same year, he embarked on a doctoral research at King's College London, where he worked with Colin Gunton and Professor Oliver Davies. In 2008, Neamțu defended his doctoral dissertation at King's College London. His unpublished thesis looks at various points of theological convergence between the supporters of the Nicene Creed and the leaders of the Christian monastic movement in fourth-century Egypt. Neamțu claimed that the Church bishops gathered at Nicene offered a paradoxical understanding of the consubstantial relationship between the Father and the Son, which subverted the Master and Slave dialectics so rampant in the pagan world (as it is described by Hegel in the Phenomenology of Spirit). The Nicene Creed gives meaning to the monastic appropriation of Christian discipleship. The Nicene understanding of divine incarnation leads to the unfolding of ‘desert eschatology’ in terms of a liturgical suspension of secular history. Finally, Neamțu highlights the desert fathers’ implicit critique of the imperial cult, against the background of an Arian political theology. The marriage between the Nicene doctrine of God and the desert fathers’ practice of virtue is seen as the matrix of emergence for a new Christian understanding of ethics, time, liturgy, and sociality (i.e., politeia). Political views Conservative libertarianism Upon his arrival back to Romania, Neamțu became a diligent student of liberty. While living in Bucharest, he started to attend private seminars and public workshops focused on the works of Alexis de Tocqueville, Lord Acton, Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich von Hayek, Milton Friedman and William F. Buckley Jr. Neamțu has travelled extensively to many destinations in North America, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. As an affiliate researcher of various conservative NGOs and libertarian think-tanks, he has put together different projects, conferences, and workshops, dedicated to the question of individual liberty and the impact of the governmental action upon the free market and the civil society. He is an Eurosceptic. Multiculturalism and immigration Neamțu is against any type of multiculturalism or immigration and he identifies such things as left-wing politics. Regarding the Bucharest Mosque project, he was one of the main critics of it. Political commentator For nearly two decades, Neamțu has wrote various essays and columns on a variety of topics
