Neoplatonism in Russian medieval philosophy. Ionaitis O.

The monograph considers the formation of Russian medieval philosophy, stages of development and national characteristics. Significant attention is paid to the nature of the Byzantine influence and its significance in the history of Russian medieval philosophical thought.

analyzing the relationship of Byzantine and Russian medieval philosophy, the author of the monograph comes to the conclusion that one of the most significant influences was Byzantine neoplatonism (Dionysius Areopagita, Maxim the Confessor, Philip Desert). This influence was affected both in the translated literature and in the original works of Russian thinkers (Kiev Metropolitan Nile, Nile Sorsky, Maxim Grek, Protopop Avvakum, Dimitri Rostov, Afanasy Kholmogorsky, etc.).

The book is intended for all interested in the history of Russian medieval philosophy.
