Specyfika rozumienia podstawowych terminów teologiczno-filozoficznych w nauczaniu Sewera z Antiochii
Specificity of understanding of the basic theological and philosophical terms in Severus of Antioch’s teaching

Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on the specific understanding of basic theological and philosophical terms of Severus of Antioch’s teaching. Theauthor analyses such concepts as: "essence" (οὐσία), "hypostasis" (ὑπόστασις), "person" (πρόσωπον), "nature" (φύσις) and "energy"(ἐνέργεια). The research on the above terms is a necessary introduction to further study of christology of the most outstanding of therepresentatives of "moderate monophysism". As a result of the conducted research, the differences in the Severus of Antioch and theDiphysites’ understanding of the above-mentioned concepts were revealed. Of particular note is the interpretation of the concept of"φύσις", which for the Antiochian Patriarch is synonymous with the terms "ὑπόστασις" and "πρόσωπον". It also seems specific tointerpret the term "ἐνέργεια", which, according to Severus, is not an attribute of a being, but is only a manifestation of a specifichypostasis/nature/person.
