Антиномичност језика и апофатичко богословље Владимира Лоског

Abstract

Vladimir Lossky was one of the greatest and most important Orthodox theologians in 20th century; he has greatly contributed to Neo-Patristic synthesis, while his works will introduce the spirit of Eastern theology to Christian West. One of Lossky’s significant contributions was the affirmation of apophatic theology, i.e. gnoseological method of knowing God that is not applied only in the fields of Triadology and Christology, but also in the field of anthropology. Although his apophatism was basically patristic, it will not be identified as theologia negativa, but as mystical vision or theoria – seeing God – and that is why apophatics is not just another method of theology but the experience of living God. Experience is, therefore, more than a method; it includes method. This paper is an exploration of antinomicity of Vladimir Lossky’s theology and of his re-actualization of apophatic theology as theologia affirmativa.
