DESCRIPTION:Project Presentation by Dmitry Biriukov\n\nThis report aims to
  investigate how in the religious polemic between the Byzantine authors\, 
 siding with the Chalcedonian creed and the Monophysites\, the representati
 ves of the competing parties willing to establish and clarify their Christ
 ological views used opposing physical paradigms of mixing physical bodies.
  Such paradigms were: (a) the Stoic teaching of the total blending of phys
 ical bodies\, widely used by the Chalcedonians for the purposes of support
 ing their views on Christology\; (b) a teaching about the mixing of bodies
 \, which was typical for Aristotelian and Platonic authors\, who decisivel
 y criticized the Stoic pattern of total blending. The latter was adopted b
 y the Monophysite authors when they argued in favor of their Christologica
 l doctrine and polemized with Chalcedonian Christology. In studying this p
 roblem\, I ask whether the Chalcedonian or Monophysite Christologies imply
  a certain physical view of the world\, and would it be possible that such
  a view of the world is at least one of the reasons why Medieval Christian
  thinkers settled with one or another Christological doctrine?
