Gregory Palamas' ontology as theoretical foundation of axiological aspects of the philosophy of "all-Unity"

Abstract

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.
