The study shows the reception of the views of Pseudo-Dionysius
Areopagite by Gregory Palamas. The author presents the doctrinal
context of Palamas' dispute with Barlaam from Calabria on the
possibility of knowing God, the most important issue in
14th-century Byzantium. The author distances herself from many
previous interpretations of this problem. She proves that,
considering how much Palamas succumbed or did not succumb to the
Areopagite or "corrected" his position, he has a very weak
doctrinal basis. The author notices that over-emphasizing
Dionysius' dependence on the Neoplatonic tradition does not lead to
a solution to the problem. Palamas' teachings are placed in the
context of the traditions of the Christian East and their relation
to the thoughts of the Areopagite himself.
