Anastasius Bibliothecarius lists a number of texts by Constantine the Philosopher from Thessaloniki from which we learn about philosophical topics. We focus on the question whether a person has one or two souls. We look closely on this issue and interpret the text of Anastasius, which is ideologically and politically conditioned. The meaning of the word “slovo” in church-Slavonic Vita Constantini has been translated as a “speech”, ability to speak. Byzantine literature shows another interpretation of this church-Slavonic term.

Christian saint and missionary Constantine with monastic name Kyrill has an attribute The Philosopher. Appellative form of the word 'philosopher' ranks his personality of extraordinary significance to the world of philosophers. In this study we systematically try to determine what is meant by the concept 'philosopher' in the light of biblical texts, in the descriptions of the church fathers and the Christian writers until the 9th century and in the church service of the Eastern Church. All these are namely the sources of an educational and a spiritual formation of his personality. Inomissible is Constantine's lifelong desire for a monastic life 'similar to that of angels', which he managed to fulfil only at the end of his life. We try to find the profile of his philosophy in the opposition between the philosophy of the temporal world (antic philosophy), knowledge of God that allows anabasis directing to God, and the philosophy of the heavenly world (bios angelikos, foolery for Christ, Hagia Sofia) that represents the cathabasis of Logos.
