The pillar and ground of the truth by
Pavel Florensky(
Book
)
7 editions published between 1997 and 2004 in English and held by 274 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Certainly the greatest Russian theologian of this century, Pavel Florensky (1882-1937) is now beginning to be recognized as one of its greatest polymaths. This volume is the first English translation of his rich and fascinating defense of Russian Orthodox theology." "Originally published in 1914, the book is a series of twelve letters to a "brother" or "friend," who may be understood symbolically as Christ. Central to Florensky's work is an exploration of the various meanings of Christian love, which is viewed as a combination of philia (friendship) and agape (universal love). Florensky is perhaps the first modern writer to explore the so-called "same-sex unions," which, for him, are not sexual in nature. He describes the ancient Christian rites of the adel-phopoiesis (brother-making), joining male friends in chaste bonds of love. In addition, Florensky is one of the first thinkers in the twentieth century to develop the idea of the Divine Sophia, who has become one of the central concerns of feminist theologians."--Jacket

Iconostasis by
P. A Florenskiĭ(
Book
)
25 editions published between 1988 and 2010 in 5 languages and held by 141 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Iconostasis is Fr. Pavel's final theological work. Composed in 1922, it explores in highly original terms the significance of the icon: its philosophic depth, its spiritual history, its empirical technique. In doing so, Fr. Pavel also sketches a new history of both Western religious art and the Orthodox icon: a history under the direct operation of the Holy Spirit. The work is original, challenging and profoundly articulate. This translation is the first complete English version

Early religious writings, 1903-1909 by
P. A Florenskiĭ(
Book
)
6 editions published in 2017 in English and Undetermined and held by 124 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Perhaps the most remarkable person devoured by the Gulag" is how Alexandr Solzhenitsyn described Pavel Florensky, a Russian Orthodox mathematician, scientist, linguist, art historian, philosopher, theologian, and priest who was martyred during the Bolshevik purges of the 1930s. This volume contains eight important religious works written by Florensky in the first decade of the twentieth century, now translated into English--most of them for the first time. Splendidly interweaving religious, scientific, and literary themes, these essays showcase the diversity of Florensky's broad learning and interests. Including reflections on the sacraments and explorations of Russian monastic culture, the volume concludes with "The Salt of the Earth," arguably Florensky's most spiritually moving work. -- From the publisher

La mayoría de las reflexiones sobre el arte remiten a los gustos que imperan en una época. A ello contribuyen también las academias y los expertos en estética. Por eso, adentrarse en el territorio de la belleza resulta muy arriesgado si se elige como guía a un desconocido matemático ruso, que vivió en el primer tercio del siglo XX e hizo del icono la clave interpretativa. En su obra El iconostasio, donde reflexiona sobre la historia y la filosofía del arte, Florenski propone entender y configurar el mundo desde el arte, proporcionando aquellos materiales que pueden servir para elaborar una teoría estética integral. El icono, considerado por el autor una expresión artística accesible externamente a todos, le permite abordar los temas estéticos más complejos: la cosmovisión platónica y la kantiana, la relación del hombre con la naturaleza, la aparición del retrato y el paisaje, el arte en las diferentes tradiciones, el léxico específico sobre el rostro, o las técnicas y procedimientos de la pintura. Porque nada escapa a la mirada de quien, contemplando un icono, ha visto más adentro
