Sažetak
Through this research we would like to research the influence of Evagrius thought on the thought of Maximus the Confessor. In this study we shall be limited to just three chapters from Evagrius' Praktikos and three parallel similar chapters from Maximus’ Centuries. Because of the three chapters that are analyzed, the thesis is divided into three parts: 1) Chapter one: Praktikos 14 – Centuries 2:38 ; 2) Chapter two: Praktikos 46 – Centuries 2:14 ; 3) Chapter three: Praktikos 31 – Centuries 3:60. Each part contains four sections: In the first section we have the Greek text of some parallel-similar chapters from the Praktikos and the Centuries with a translation. The original Greek text for the Praktikos follows a critical edition by Antoine and Claire and Guillaumont: Évagre le Pontique, Traité pratique ou Le moine. Sources Chrétiennes, vol. 171 (Paris, 1971). For Centuries we follow a Greek text from the critical edition by Aldo C. Gastaldo: Massimo Confessore, Capitoli sulla carità (Editrice Studium, Roma 1963). In the second section we approach the text of the chapters, including confronting and analyzing their similarities and differences. The third section as an appendix gives us a synopsis by the comparison of the texts from Praktikos’ and Centuries’ chapters, and in this schematic way we can more easily see mutual similarities and differences. 4) The fourth section, also as appendix with a schematic method gives an analysis of the chapters’ structure. To this structural analysis of the text we also refer in the second part, referring to it in order to compare the inner structure and dynamic of the text.
