Text of Note

Beginning with Plato and reaching a climax in Maximus the Confessor, the doctrine of participation describes the relationship between the world and its source, in both its ontological and existential dimensions. Participation offers an account of the relation between the Many and the One, both in terms of a vertical hierarchy of being, as well as a horizontal evolution through time. Embedded participation designates the manner in which creatures unconsciously participate by nature in divine perfections and in existence itself, while enactive participation designates a consciously willed cooperation with the divine, which is ultimately a communion with the world as well. The related concepts of energeia (activity) and person (hupostasis or prosopon) are crucial both for describing these vectors of participation, and for resolving the problems they raise.
