Perychoreza natur w ujęciu Maksyma Wyznawcy

Abstract

Maximus the Confessor is one of the first authors to use the term perichoresis. More importantly, faced with Monophysitism and Monothelitism he defines the fundamental terms, such as substance, hypostasis and nature. On the basis of these formulas he develops his doctrine of two natures in one hypostasis, stressing that we cannot use the terms: φύσις σύνθετος, μία ἁπλῶς φύσις or μία σύνθετος φύσις in relation to Christ. The only proper term is ὑπόστασις σύνθετος – the Son of God consubstantial with the Father and with all human beings.
