The study shows that the biblical discourse of the taxonomy of beings goes from Gregory of Nyssa to the Dionysian discourse, and afterwards it influences the teaching of Gregory Palamas. Based on the passage from David Disipat’s “History” discovered by Robert Browning, the author puts forward a new hypothesis about the time when the polemic about the taxonomy first appears in the Palamite controversy. Also, he gives an outline of Gregory Palamas’s teachings about the taxonomy of the participating beings. He shows that in Gregory the theme of the taxonomy of the participating beings is tightly connected to the theme of the supernatural participating of a created being in the Divine.

Saint Gregory Palamas belonged among the greatest fathers of Eastern Church of the 14th century. His intellectual and spiritual potential was cultivated already when he was a student, as he received elaborate education in Constantinople. The intense use of philosophers, among whom Aristotle and Plato were mostly used, and of classical writers, mostly Homer, Sophocles etc., in the writings of Palamas comes as no surprise. In this study, we present an outline of Saint Gregory’s classical education with indicative examples drawn from his writings. Through these examples we aim to analyse Palama’s method of development and promotion of the national literature ideals to the extent that it led to the definition of true faith, to the knowledge of God and human salvation.

The aim of the article is to present the life and work of Nicholas Kabasilas, one of the forefront figures of the fourteenth-century Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire. Not much information has survived on the life of Nicholas Kabasilas, despite the fact that he was an advisor to the Emperor John VI Kantakouzenos from 1347 to 1354 and significantly influenced the development during his era which was shaken by two very crucial events: Hesychast controversy and the fight for the throne after the death of Andronikos III between Alexios Apokaukos and John VI Kantakouzenos. Misunderstandings and conflicts between Hesychasts and Anti-Hesychasts lay in different starting points and are related to the issue of the humanistic and patristic revival in Byzantium. Greek monk Barlaam of Calabria got into conflict with traditional Byzantine views and he ruled out the possibility of real communion with God, therefore he opposed Hesychasts. The defence of Hesychasts was undertaken by Gregory Palamas, the paramount representative of Byzantine thought and the leading figure of Hesychasm who reacted to the gnosiological issue of God on the basis of distinction between unattainable Divine substance and attainable uncreated Divine energies. Kabasilas did not enter open conflict like Gregory Palamas, but he focused more on the clarification of anthropological questions. He also paid attention to the social issues and problems of common people in need who were fighting for social justice. He criticized usury and injustice of the rich, which led people to poverty and, in turn, violence.

The influence of hesychastic traditions on the Russian culture can be found in cultural practices since the 15th century. In the 19th century, the tradition of hesychasm determined semantic coordinates of ontological aspects of the philosophy of „All-Unity“. This strategy is aimed at creation of unity which would have ontological basis. The idea of distinction of divine essence and divine energy offered by Gregory Palamas is the theoretical basis for the concept of the three divine Hypostases‘ and Sophia’s correlation developed by V. S. Solovyov. The special ontological status of Sophia, its energies’ nature, not only promotes creating harmonious and complete vision of life, but also gives to this life a special value status.
