ST MAXIMUS THE CONFESSORS TEACHING ON MOVEMENT

by

VLADIMIR CVETKOVI Aarhus Universitet

Faculty of Theology Aarhus, Denmark

SUMMARY: The article aims to present how the Byzantine scholar St Maximus the Confessor perceived the notion of movement (kinesis). St Maximus exposed his teaching on movement in the course of his refutation of Origenism, which regarded the movement of created beings away from God as the cause of breaking the original unity that existed between the Creation and the Creator. By reversing Origens triad rest movement becoming into the triad becoming movement rest, St Maximus viewed the movement toward God as the sole goal of created beings, finding in the supreme being the repose of their own movement. In addition to the cosmological view of the movement, St Maximus developed a psychological and an ontological view on movement, relying on previous Christian tradition. By transforming and adapting Aristotelian and Neoplatonic notions to the basic principles of Christian metaphysics, St Maximus creates a new Christian philosophy of movement which he supported primarily with the views of the Cappadocian Fathers and Dionysius the Areopagite.

KEY WORDS: St Maximus the Confessor, movement, rest, creation, soul
