Demonstration (&Alpha\;&pi\;ό&delta\;&epsilon\;&iota\;&xi\;&iota\;&sigmaf\;) \;and its problems for St Gregory Palamas: Some neglected Aristotelian aspects of St Gregory Palamas' Philosophy and Theology.

\n\n

Abstract

\n

I will discuss some often neglected aspects of St Gregory Palamas' Philosophy and Theology in relation to his views on the use of Demonstration (&Alpha\;&pi\;ό&delta\;&epsilon\;&iota\;&xi\;&iota\;&sigmaf\;). My starting point will be Aristotle's views on this and how St Gregory Palamas dealt with them in his treatises. Then\, I will examine Sinkewicz's and Ierodiakonou's claims that either St Gregory Palamas did not understand the points Barlaam was making in relation to the use of Demonstration or that the Saint is mistaken on his interpretation of Aristotle. I will finish with some thoughts of why St Gregory Palamas expressed his critique on the use of Demonstration\, which hopefully will clarify some of the intentions of the Saint on this debate (time permitting I will associate his views with some of the concerns of L. Wittgenstein\, esp. in his late works). \;
