Opis

The book is a source comparative study of the views of Gregory Palamas and Pseudo-Dionysius Areopagite on man's ability to know God. The author distances herself from the opinions of other researchers who prove Pseudo-Dionysius' dependence on the Neoplatonic tradition. She asks about the place of Dionysian thought in the works of Palamas.
