| Summary: | The article examines the theoria physike contemplation of Christian monk Evagrius Ponticus. Theoria physike serves as a test case for understanding the perceived rejection of the material world and the ambivalent attitude toward images. It is a type of contemplation that includes images and seeks to perceive the divine wisdom. The author stresses that the ambivalence treatment of Ponticus towards images and material is of mechanical necessity to his way of thinking about contemplation. |
