ISBN10: 0691117675, ISBN13: 9780691117676, [publisher: Princeton University Press] Softcover nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Pavel Florensky--certainly the greatest Russian theologian of the last century--is now recognized as one of Russia's greatest polymaths. Known as the Russian Leonardo da Vinci, he became a Russian Orthodox priest in 1911, while remaining deeply involved with the cultural, artistic, and scientific developments of his time. Arrested briefly by the Soviets in 1928, he returned to his scholarly activities until 1933, when he was sentenced to ten years of corrective labor in Siberia. There he continued his scientific work and ministered to his fellow prisoners until his death four years later. This volume is the first English translation of his rich and fascinating defense of Russian Orthodox theology.Originally published in 1914, the book is a series of twelve letters to a 'brother' or 'friend,' who may be understood symbolically as Christ. Central to Florensky's work is an exploration of the various meanings of Christian love, which is viewed as a combination of philia (friendship) and agape (universal love). Florensky is perhaps the first modern writer to explore the so-called 'same-sex unions,' which, for him, are not sexual in nature. He describes the ancient Christian rites of the adelphopoiesis (brother-making), joining male friends in chaste bonds of love. In addition, ...

Princeton University Press, March Date: 2004. Paper Back. New. We want to say that it's the theological study of the twentieth century (one paragraph of this work, it might Be argued, equals one volume of other theological works). It was created, conceived, designed and performed by Fr. Pavel Florensky, polymath -- astute as a mathematician, physicist, semiotician, theologian, art historian, engineer, priest and poet, who opens his title page with a quote from Gregory of Nyssa: ''Knowledge becomes love.'' Standing as the most elaborated work of Russian Symbolist theology, The Pillar & Ground of Truth is a series of dialogues (or perhaps prose poetry) seeking to justify the possibility of ascertaining divine truth in this sinful world. ''The whole book can be considered an exploration of the epistemological, ontological and moral implications of two central Christian doctrines - Trinity and Incarnation'' (from the Introduction). Applying his universe of knowledge to his general theme (''living religious experience as the sole legitimate way to gain knowledge of the dogmas'') Florensky examines this through ''an ever growing ball of threads of contemplation, a clot of penetrations, ever congealing, ever intruding into the essence of the subject studied...an aggregate of the processes of thought which mutually reinforce and justify each other.'' (!) In a spiritual mood, with extensive reference to ...
