Ruch monastyczny w Kapadocji na przykładzie działalności Bazylego Wielkiego

Abstract

Monasticism movement appeared in Cappadocia very early. Its turbulent beginnings should be combined with the figure of Eustatius of Sebasty. The „golden period”, however, falls on the activities of the great Cappadocian Fathers, especially Basil the Great. Based on his ascetic writings, the principles governing this form of Christian life will be analyzed.
