Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This book is a study of the mystical nature of tradition, and the traditional nature of mysticism, and of St Symeon as both a highly personal and very traditional ecclesiastical writer. The teachings of St Symeon (949-1022) created much controversy in Byzantium and even led to a short-lived exile to Asia Minor in 1009. For the first time in modern scholarship these teachings are examined from within the tradition to which both St Symeon and Dr Alfeyev belong.

These pioneering Lives are central sources for the major Christian monastic figures from St Antony, who died in 356, to St Benedict (c. 480-547). They also shed light on the beliefs and values of their celebrated authors. Athanasius' Life of Antony reveals the man who many believe was the first to set out into the Egyptian desert to pursue the path of poverty, abstinence and solitary prayer. St Jerome fought for the cause of chastity and asceticism in writing about Paul of Thebes, Hilarion and Malchus, while in his Life of Martin Sulpicius Severus described the achievements of a man who combined the roles of monk, bishop and missionary. Almost two hundred years later, Pope Gregory the Great in his Dialogues focused above all on St Benedict, whose Rule became the template for every subsequent form of monasticism. Full of vivid incidents and astonishing miracles, all these works proved hugely popular and influential and also inspired much of the visual imagery of the Middle Ages.
In der Politik wird die sogenannte Vergreisung der Gesellschaft

aus gesellschaftlicher, vor allem aber aus individueller
Perspektive. Mit einem modernen, biopsychosozialen Ansatz werden

Leistungsfahigkeit, Entwicklungsprozesse, Willensdynamik,
Bewegungsaktivitat in ihrer Bedeutung fur Begleitung, Pflege,
Bildungsarbeit, Psychotherapie und die Forderung einer Lebenskunst

Hochbetagten zu tun haben oder arbeiten, finden in diesem Buch
nicht nur einen guten Uberblick uber die aktuellen
wissenschaftlichen Entwicklungen in diesem interdisziplinaren
Arbeitsfeld, sondern auch viele An- regungen fur den Umgang mit
hochaltrigen Mitburgerinnen und Informationen fur ihr eigenes
Altern.
