The infinite diversity of persons : individual personality in the ascetical theology of St Feofan the Recluse (1815-1894) by Kulakov, M

“…The study reveals Feofan's indebtedness to Byzantine ascetic spirituality, as well as his unusual openness to Western thought - reflected in his innovative synthesis of patristic asceticism and German romantic psychology.</p> <p>This study also addresses the ambivalence of Feofan's inner conflicts: namely, between his passionate belief in spiritual self-determination and his authoritarian teaching on 'silent submissiveness'; and between his defence of the legitimacy of spiritual diversity within the realm of ascetic experience and his unwillingness to extend that same principle beyond the limits of his own tradition.…”

“…This imperative, from a Foucauldian perspective, is in the terms of a “care of the self”, which becomes a form of asceticism where it is necessary to return in order to restore the forgotten relationship between the subject and truth.This text is a reflection on psychoanalysis as a possible practice that restores the care of the self, taking into account its specificity, so that a theory that has the subject as an axial element must also take into account a fundamental question: what is psychoanalysis concerned about? …”
