- Title
THE AUTHORITY OF EXPERIENCE IN THE HESYCHAST SAINTS ACCORDING TO ST GREGORY PALAMAS: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ONTOLOGY AND EPISTEMOLOGY REVISITED.
- Authors
NOBLE, IVANA
- Abstract
Does a direct experience of God and the associated grace-filled transformation make people infallible, or can even saints still be wrong when they interpret who can be saved and who cannot, what forms of life people should choose, which political systems, figures and positions they should support? This article examines what St Gregory Palamas says on the nature of the saints' experience and knowledge, how stability and progress are interrelated in his notion of deification, and what the consequences are of his differentiation between knowledge coming from above and natural knowledge.
