Pantazakos Panagiotis

Born in Athens, Panagiotis Pantazakos completed compulsory education before studying Philosophy, Theology, and Law at the University of Athens, alongside fulfilling his military service. During secondary education and university studies, he attended foreign language courses, studying English at the British Council and German at the Walter Gleiss Institute. In the academic year 1990-1991, after passing the relevant postgraduate exams at the Institute of State Grants (I.K.Y.), he was awarded a grant by the Chrysovergion Foundation. However, he renounced this grant upon being elected as a Special Postgraduate Fellow in the Faculty of Philosophy, Pedagogy & Psychology at the University of Athens. This appointment marked his introduction to philosophical questioning, participating in educational and research activities, and presenting papers on “The Paradox in Philosophy” and “The Argument in Philosophy” in postgraduate seminars. He also contributed to the Erasmus Student Exchange Programme from 1992-1995, which operated between the University of Athens, the University of Rome (“La Sapienza”), and the University of Nottingham. From 1989 to 2002, Panagiotis Pantazakos served as a High School and Lyceum teacher at the private school “Moraitis,” taught Ethics at the National School of Public Administration, and the Postgraduate School for Police Officers. Additionally, he edited a series of philosophy books and conference proceedings. In 1997, he earned a Doctor of Philosophy with first-class honors from the University of Athens, with a doctoral thesis on “Natural Theology and Natural Law in the Philosophy of Sophists in the 5th century BC.”
