The article investigates the will of intelligent beings in the state of deification. Amid various standpoints on presence or absence of gnomic will in eschaton, the author has conducted the analysis of the act of will in the teaching of Maximus the Confessor. The problem of will has been studied in the context of eschatological views of the father, the center of which being the concept of ever-moving repose. The article involves the analysis of texts from Great Ethics by Aristotle and Ennead 6.8 by Plotinus, which have not been sufficiently studied by researchers in the analysis of philosophical influences of the Father of the Church. As a result of the analysis, the author brings forward an assumption about a complete absence of the gnomic will and the process of choice as such in the existence of beings after the end of the world. Acquiring a divine skill/property results in deactivation of the gnomic will process at the fifth stage of the act of will – search, which naturally cancels the sixth stage as well – consideration/hesitation. The author finishes the investigation with a critique of personalistic theories that always leave the choice process in the eschaton and subdue the nature to hypostasis assigning the former to the abstract category of a universal and service concept, and considering the latter the stimulus of being for the former leaving behind the apophatic revelation of elusive essence.

Deification in Tamil culture - The case of 'cankili canniyaci' (The ascetic with a chain)

This article analyses the cult of 'Cankili Canniyaci' or the Ascetic with a Chain as observed by the authoress during her research in rural areas of Tamil Nadu. The analysis of this continually evolving cult leads her to more general reflections on deification in Indian culture, especially to the identification of liminality as the primary condition for deification. Like other deified groups (e.g. fallen warriors, widows who committed ritual suicide), 'Cankili Canniyaci' has a borderline existence and his death violates the natural ending of human life. The authoress demonstrates that stories about 'Cankili Canniyaci' can be interpreted as a myth about the trickster whose power is rooted in his liminal position and at the same time inextricably linked to transgression. Using Tamil religious terminology, 'Cankili Canniyaci' is qualified as a typical 'ciru teyvam' (small god) of terrestrial origin who operates on the borderline between the worlds of humans and gods.

The article describes selected questions from theological anthropology including how they were developed by Olivier Clément and Jürgen Moltmann. The interest of both authors was to indicate relationality as the main concept in thinking about human beings. They are interested in depicting certain terms such as person, nature, image, similitude or deification. The authors were chosen because of their similar point of view on anthropology, but also because of the fact that they are from different Christian traditions. The article comes to the conclusion that a human being is not an objective fact which can be analysed with separate terms, but is a unity of different dimensions, which are intrinsically interconnected. In the similar way, this unity is linked to human society, the environment and God. The physical body as the natural part of a human being has a significant rehabilitation in this type of anthropology: it has the same right to redemption as other human dimensions.
