In present article I’m looking into ontology of the acts of knowing and willing as they are conceived by Maximus the Confessor. The main focus is laid upon the change of proportions of activity and passivity according to different objects of these acts: whether they concern natural or supernatural objects or God Himself. The main conclusion reached in this article is that the ontological aspect of the acts at stake are characterized by opposing pattern of that proportion. While cognitive aspect proceeds from higher comlexity and activity to its simplification and culminates in passivity in undergoing divine action, the volitive aspect is governed by a law of continuous increment of synergy between divine and contingent operations. Key insights are collected from Maximus’ description of the working of the Hypostatic Union. The discovered pattern of proportions of action and passion provides a hint for understanding relation holding between nature and grace, or better,a possible explanation why the supernatural is properly a super-natural.
