[Taxonomies of Beings in the Palamite Literature. Part 2. The Palamite Doctrine in the Context of the Previous Byzantine Tradition and Its Reception in the Russian Religious Thought of the XX Century (the Philosophy of Creativity by Sergei Bulgakov)]

Abstract: I provide a detailed comparison of the teaching of taxonomy of beings in Gregory Palamas and such previous Byzantine theologians as Dionysius the Areopagite and Gregory of Nyssa. I examine David Dishypatos’ teaching on taxonomy of beings as well. I observe the reception of Gregory Palamas’ teaching of taxonomy of beings in Russian religious and philosophical thought. In this regard, I consider Sergei Bulgakov’s philosophy of creativity.
