Abstract

“Common elements within the writings of Gregory of Nyssa and Dionysius” – was posted on ‘YouTube’ by the International Association of Patristic Studies/Association Internationale d’Études Patristiques (IAPS/AIEP): https://youtu.be/mBxfkPhd1iA; 5th of December, 2020. The written version of the text has also been uploaded. Elena Draghici-Vasilescu, Common elements.pdf - Google Drive (for the text of the talk). Here is the Abstract: The common elements to be found in the works of Gregory of Nyssa and Dionysius the Areopagite are as follows: 1) the existence of three main stages of spiritual life; 2) the affirmation that, from an ontological point of view, evil does not exist; 3) the belief in the actuality of free will; 4) intimations that the progress of the soul – epektasis – continues in the afterlife, and 5) analogous conceptions regarding the creation of the world. In this text I will only refer to the first two of those similarities. I need to underline that the perspectives of the two authors on the above issues are not identical in every regard; they agree on those in principle, but on some aspects of them each has a specific view.
