Paisij Velickovskij (1722-1794) and his Work. Return of Hesychasm and Fate of ancient Idea of Spiritual Father in the Russian Orthodoxy

19世纪俄罗斯长老的独特现象可以解释为1的巨大影响。Patristic Hesychac文本的翻译(4-14美分)由Paisij Velickovski 2。他自己的评论翻译的教父文本和他自己的声明和论述(关于他的祈祷，僧侣服从，精神之父的作用)，3。改革由Paisij所做的僧侣在他自己的寺院规模，4。他的说服工作在后台(在他的信件)。所有这些都促成了俄罗斯老人现象的出现。精神之父(长辈)代表了东正教苦行最有特色的特征之一。尽管对苦行学的研究已有兴趣，但没有人调查过建立一个秘密的关键人物，并站在近代东正教出现这些现象的背景下。我的项目的目的将在于：1.呈现在德国鲜为人知或鲜为人知的Paisij(人和工作)的形象；重点将放在他的神学思想上，而不是主要(直到今天在许多国际研究著作中)他的文献学价值；2.追踪古代东方基督教精神之父的思想和19世纪俄罗斯“长辈”繁荣之间的教父关系；追踪Paisij在这一过程中的作用和斯拉夫世界中古老的长者观念的修改。斯拉夫语源及其德文翻译版。

The unique phenomenon of the Russian Elders in 19th century can be explained as a result of enormous influence of1. translations of patristic hesychac texts (4th-14th cent.) by Paisij Velickovskij 2. his own comments to the translated patristic texts and his own statements and expositions (about the hesychastical prayer, monastical obedience, role of spiritual father),3. reforms of monasticism done by Paisij in scale of his own monastery, 4. his work of persuasion in background (in his correspondence). All these contribueted to the emergense of phenomenon of the Russian elder. The spiritual father (elder) represents one of mostly distinctive caracteristics of the Orthodox ascetisc.Despite of existing interest under research of ascetics there are no investigations about the crucial figure which established a scool und stood in the background of emergence of these phenomens in the Orthodox Church of the Modern Times. The profot of my project will consist in:1. presentation of the figure of Paisij (person and work) who is unknown or hardly known in Germany; the emphasis will be done on his theological ideas, not primarily (as till today in many international researching works) on his philolocial merits, 2. tracking down of patristic strands between the ancient eastern christian idea of spiritual father and the prosperity of 'elderdom' in Russia of 19th century; tracking dawn of role of Paisij in this process and of the modification of the ancient idea of elder in Slavonic world.3. edition of Slavonic sources and their translation into German .
